source? columbia university outlines their investments and they do not state this point at all
https://www.columbia.edu/content/financial-overview
LOL. Columbia absolutely does not outline their investments, they just name a managing organization.
One of the protest demands is literally for transparency because their investments are not public.
when you say not outlining their assets, do you mean not delivering a financial statement? cause here is the page for them: https://www.finance.columbia.edu/content/columbia-university-financial-reports
and here is the file directly leading to their most recent financials, which does talk about their assets (45 pages): https://www.finance.columbia.edu/sites/default/files/content/Finance%20Documents/Financial%20Reports/Columbia%20University%20FY23%20Financials%20Signed[9].pdf
So the bottom link leads to a broken page for me. The other links I have browsed the PDF and couldn't find anything that lists specific investments.
Which PDF lists what their investments are?
The answer is, it doesn’t. Just like the public financial statements of other companies, it’s a standard format report. They think you’re a moron and are treating you like one by saying “loOk at My PdF”.
The person trying to “debate” you is just yet another Zionist playing disingenuous game of moving goalposts and confusing the dialogue.
The demands are clear. Divest from the MIC members whose arms enable genocide. The president of the university said no, and protests started.
A little later in a different thread it seems like they understand now.
