U. of Wisconsin-Madison Graduate Student Union Votes for BDS
------------------------------------------------------------

Here in Madison, the graduate student union at the University of
Wisconsin-Madison has voted to join the Boycott, Divestment and
Sanctions movement. The 9,000-member union is the oldest graduate
student union in the United States. It becomes the third student union
in about a month to vote to divest from Israeli state institutions and
corporations who do business in the Israeli-occupied Palestinian
territories.
