The president of Portland State University announced Friday that the school would suspend its connections to the military contractor Boeing as campus protests against U.S. colleges' complicity in Israel 's war on Gaza intensified. In an email to students and faculty, PSU president Ann Cudd wrote that while the university has no investments in Boeing , it 'accepts philanthropic gifts from the company.
' 'Demonstrators had planned to hold a protest on the PSU campus Monday, but it was not immediately clear if the university's pause on relations to Boeing would change those plans,' the outlet observed. One student told OPB that 'the funding from Boeing has already been received by PSU for the year, so putting a pause on it doesn't actually do anything.' 'It doesn't change anything about the way things are being conducted,' the student added.
