From the campus of Columbia University in New York to the University of Texas in Austin, students protesting Israel's war against Hamas are calling for universities to"divest." It's a call for universities to remove their investments from companies tied to Israel's government and military.

"Often, those kinds of gifts will come with some level of expectation that perhaps, in this example, that that stock would be maintained by the university that they would continue to hold on to it and not sell it," Dobi said. "Divest, I mean, that being said, I don't personally know. I'm not the person to speak to about that," said Mia Cisco, a University of Texas student."My forte is not what the university is doing."
