Dissent :: What's Wrong with Academic Boycotts?

Scholastic Disobedience
By Martha Nussbaum, Mohammed Abed, and Murray Hausknecht
From Dissent Magazine

"Last spring, Britain's 120,000-strong University and College Union voted to endorse a motion to boycott Israeli universities, calling on British academics to condemn the 'complicity of Israeli academia in the occupation.' Martha Nussbaum, Mohammed Abed, and Murray Hausknecht debate the legitimacy--and political utility--of academic boycotts."
