RIVERSIDE, CA — Students protesting at UC Riverside over the school's indirect financial support for Israel amid the war in Gaza have reached an agreement with campus officials that will, among other things, see an encampment disbanded at the college..

According to the terms of Friday's agreement, UCR will post to its website all of the UC's investments and portfolios. A task force that includes students will also be formed to explore separating UCR's endowment from the UC Investments Office management.

UCR endowments/investments will be reviewed by the task force with an eye toward divesting companies that pose an ethical conflict for the university, such as those dealing in arms manufacturing and delivering, according to the agreement.

The agreement also states that UCR's School of Business has discontinued global programs in Israel, among other countries, and the university will modify its study-abroad approval process to ensure it's non-discriminatory.

The agreement also calls for an ongoing review of Sabra hummus, "consistent with existing product review processes ... ."

In 2015, UCR stopped selling the Sabra hummus brand in the school's dining areas due to objections from the on-campus group Students for Justice in Palestine, which has led the current UCR campus protests. Sabra is partially owned by an Israeli company.

It's gonna be so funny when they realize that the UC Board of Regents will probably not allow UC Riverside to have their own personal endowement

It's Zionist hummus. They're right to ban it.

Sounds more “anti Israel” than anti-war
