Look at President Bok's "open letter" on the issue. His arguments, the same arguments he has used for 10 years, are stale, unconvincing and thoroughly contradictory. He does not even take into account or attempt to address the points made in the ACSR report, or by the numerous members of the community who have expressed their reasons for advocating divestment.
