(Algemeiner) Shiri Moshe - Cornell University President Martha Pollack responded to a letter by Students for Justice in Palestine which urged the university to divest from companies involved with Israel. Pollack expressed her "strong opposition to BDS" which "unfairly singles out one country in the world for sanction when there are many countries around the world whose governments' policies may be viewed as controversial.
