[Elder Of Ziyon - Israel News] University divestment scorecard, 2014, shows BDS losing badly

The Mike Report asked me if I had a scorecard of how resolutions to divest from Israel have been doing on university campuses this year. I knew that most had failed but I didn't have all the details, so I asked StandWithUs, who have been very involved in the issue, if they could help.

Their beautiful chart that they sent is too nice to keep to myself:

UCLA	Divestment	Student Government	Defeated	February, 2014
Loyola University of Chicago	Divestment	Student Government	Passed, but vetoed	March, 2014
University of Michigan - Ann Arbor	Divestment	Student Government	Defeated	March, 2014
University of Michigan - Dearborn	Divestment	Student Government	Passed	March, 2014
Arizona State University	Divestment	Student Government	Defeated (tabled indefinitely)	March, 2014
University of New Mexico	Divestment	Student Government	Defeated	April, 2014
Arizona State University, Downtown Campus	Divestment	Student Government	Defeated	April, 2014
UC Santa Barbara	Divestment	Student Government	Defeated	April, 2014
UC Riverside	Divestment	Student Government	Defeated in February, brought back and passed by one vote in April	February-April, 2014
Cornell University	Divestment	Student Government	Defeated - tabled indefinitely	April, 2014
San Diego State University	Divestment	Student Government	Defeated	February-April, 2014
Wesleyan	Divestment	Student Government	Passed	May, 2014
University of New Mexico	Divestment	Graduate Student Senate	Passed, then rescinded	April-May, 2014
UC Davis	Divestment	Student Government	Defeated	April-May, 2014
University of Washington	Divestment	Student Government	Defeated	May, 2014
DePaul University	Divestment	Referendum	TBD	April-May, 2014
UC Santa Cruz	Divestment	Student Government	TBD	May, 2014

This means nine times divestment failed, either by a direct vote or by a vote to table the motion indefinitely, which is effectively the same thing. Twice it passed only to become rescinded or vetoed.

It only passed for real three times out of fourteen.

So when I say that BDS on college campuses has run out of steam - this is what I mean.

My guess is that the Israel haters, consistently losing  on campus, will next start to resorting to online polls in student newspapers to "prove" that they are still relevant.

H/t Mike Report and StandWithUs. Here's a cartoon in Mike Report than sums it up:
