Pro-Palestinian activists at UMich are trying a new tactic to pressure the u to divest from Israel - getting elected to run the student government and refusing to disburse money to student groups until the university meets their demands. chronicle.com/article/divest…

FAMU’s interim president demanded the resignation of key members of his cabinet, effective immediately.
The call comes less than a week after a report found negligence in how the university handled a botched $237-million donation.
