University of Toronto Faculty Votes to Divest from Israel | Academics Rise Up – The Jerusalem Post
May 14, 2025
The University of Toronto Faculty Association (UTFA) has voted to divest from Israel, the association announced on Friday.
This decision stems from Israel’s “illegal occupation of the Occupied Palestinian Territory,” the UTFA said.
The motion, which passed by 52% of the vote, calls on the Ontario University Pension Plan (UPP) to produce a rapid timeline for complete divestment from all direct and indirect holdings in entities that support or sustain Israel’s “occupation and/or which manufacture” or distribute arms, ammunition, or munitions of war where “there are reasonable grounds to suspect they may have been used by Israel in Palestine.”
