New York, NY, September 19, 2024 … Adopting an Israel divestment strategy aligned with the Boycott, Divestment, and Sanctions (BDS) movement could lead to significant negative financial implications for university endowments, finds a report released today by JLens, the leading Jewish values-based investor network, part of the ADL (the Anti-Defamation League) family.
