The Brandeis student senate immediately recognized the committee after it was formed and passed a resolution praising its goals, Alderstein said.
The committee is planning a demonstration next Thursday at Brandeis, Pitterman said, adding that he expects 400 to 500 students to attend.
When Brandeis students formed the Committee For Divestment From South Africa last week and announced their goal of moving the University to sell its stock holdings, Bernstein appointed a faculty committee to investigate the issue in response, David Alderstein, news editor of "The Justice", said yesterday.
The demonstrators plan to march around the campus and then gather in front of the administrative offices to present Bernstein with a petition signed by 1200 students, a petition with over 150 signatures of parents of Brandeis students, and a faculty petition.
The divestiture committee at Brandeis is also attempting to coordinate activities with similar committees on other Boston-area campuses, including Harvard, Pitterman said.
