City University of New York (CUNY) disclosed that it has invested over $715,000 in weapons manufacturers that supply the Israeli military, according to financial records obtained by pro-Palestine campaigners. The university's holdings include investments in Boeing, Lockheed Martin, Raytheon, Palantir, Elbit Systems, and General Dynamics, all of which have supplied weapons or military technology to Israel.
This makes CUNY one of a few American universities to publicly disclose such investments. The revelation has sparked outrage, with activists claiming CUNY is complicit in the genocide against Palestinians. The university is now under pressure to divest its holdings from these companies and reinvest in life-sustaining institutions.
