Stanford Protests: Here’s a closer look at university’s ties, top 3 Israeli-backing companies students want divestment from [Video]

STANFORD, Calif. (KGO) — Saturday marks the third day of pro-Palestinian demonstrations at Stanford University.

Students have set up a “People’s University” encampment, similar to other universities across the country, and their message remains the same: they want the university to stop investing in companies advancing military efforts in the Israel-Hamas war.

A cardboard cutout of Stanford University President Richard Saller, with blood on his hands, and signs calling for divestment are greeting newly admitted students at Stanford’s spring Admit Weekend.

“We want Stanford University to pull all of its funding from companies that are helping facilitate Israeli war crimes,” Adriana, a Stanford junior said.

It’s unclear how many students slept there Friday night, but more than two dozen tents are still set up on the campus’ White Plaza.
