Brown University trustee Joseph Edelman resigns in protest against divestment vote linked to Israel.

Joseph Edelman, a trustee at Brown University and hedge fund CEO, resigned in protest against an impending vote on divesting from companies linked to Israel. In a Wall Street Journal op-ed, he criticized the decision as "morally reprehensible," particularly after the October 7 terrorist attacks. Edelman accused the university of yielding to student activists and enabling antisemitism. His resignation reflects broader concerns about rising antisemitism on campuses.
