10-year campaign for boycott and sanctions against Israel, at University of Michigan Student Assembly ("MSA"):


Approximately 100 students appeared at the Michigan Student Assembly (MSA), in October 2000, to speak for divestment against Israel-- the MSA voted to cut off all public comment, and refused to even vote on the proposed resolution to divest from Israel.

Students and community members have urged the MSA to issue resolutions for boycott against Israel, and divestment against Israel, from 2000 through the end of 2009.
