Do places like this actually have any long-term financial *plan before they start? Barring a billionaire benefactor agreeing to foot the bill, it's not remotely obvious how this could work in the long term.

"Are there some bad actors who have said inexcusable things and peddled anti-Semitic tropes? Of course. Are they the majority? No. Not even close."

Seriously, I think these students know a great deal about the situation. On the merits of calling for disinvestment, and the idea that is really even possible, not so much.
