Cambridge for Palestine

The University of Cambridge has reversed its plan to divest from weapons companies by implementing a monitoring regime for investments in conventional weapons. This decision, approved by the University Council on 16 April, follows a 2024 report by a working group established in response to a student protest organized by Cambridge for Palestine.

Cambridge University reversed a plan to divest from weapons companies after initially approving a monitoring regime with a zero percent exposure threshold. The new plan retains the zero threshold but removes the requirement to reduce exposure, a change not publicized or approved by the University Council.
