Students at NYC’s New School voted to strip funding for its campus Hillel chapter, declaring Hillel is “not in good standing,” citing its connection to the Israeli Defense Forces through student trips to Israel..
In a 38-page report, the student government alleged Hillel’s participation in programs that send students to volunteer on military bases in Israel makes the entire student body complicit through fees taken from tuition to fund all student groups.
“To continue to fund Hillel at the New School would mean that your student fees would be used to support violations of international law,” the statement says. “Our shared values require us to enforce our policies until Hillel agrees to affirm and abide by international law.”
