The Palestinian Campaign for the Academic and Cultural Boycott of Israel (PACBI) commends the American Association of University Professors (AAUP) for dropping its biased, unethical policy opposing academic boycotts, which was primarily aimed at shielding Israeli universities from accountability for their egregious human rights violations.

PACBI salutes all those who worked tirelessly to push the #AAUP to change its position, as well as the conscientious academics, students, and progressive academic associations that have for years advocated for ending #US academic institutional complicity with Israel’s 76-year-old regime of settler-colonialism and #apartheid and, in the process, challenging AAUP’s hypocrisy. Without their persistent protests and intellectual challenges, without the student-led encampments reenergizing campus campaigns for academic #boycott and divestment in response to #Israel’s #Gaza #genocide, the AAUP would not have reversed its ethically and logically untenable policy.
