California State University Sacramento has agreed to stop investing in companies that “profit from genocide, ethnic cleansing, and activities that violate fundamental human rights” in an agreement with campus pro-Palestinian protesters.

School officials updated their investment policy May 7, a week after protesters set up an encampment on campus in protest of the Israel-Hamas war.
