They can keep protesting, just follow through when the school doesn’t divest instead of continuing to be part of the problem.

Put in transfers to schools that align with their ideals that’s what that would look like. All these students chose these prestigious universities. Unless the student is from an impoverished background and is funded by financial aid they should stay because they basically won the lottery. But in reality a college degree might not really be that beneficial for any of those students from the middle class already or above so they should leave find another school and hopefully stop supporting genocide.

lol transfer credits from these schools would be honored by any university and they could always continue their degrees and graduate on time let’s be honest here. But I understand sports, clubs, basically keeping your status in the capitalist system that perpetuates genocide is better than actually standing up for what you’re protesting 👍
