Background Macalester College's Mac for Palestine coalition has submitted proposals to end study abroad programs at Hebrew University of Jerusalem and the University of Haifa. These proposals are currently under review by multiple committees, including the Social Responsibility Committee (SRC), Educational Policy and Governance Committee (EPAG), and the Faculty Advisory Council (FAC). The SRC has already recommended that the Board of Trustees consider divesting from companies doing business with Israel and suggested reviewing the study abroad programs.

Resolution Criteria This market will resolve YES if Macalester College's faculty holds a vote in March 2024 and votes to delist or discontinue study abroad programs to Israel. The market will resolve NO if:

• No faculty vote on this issue occurs in March 2024

• A vote occurs but does not result in delisting study abroad programs to Israel

• The vote is postponed beyond March 2024

Considerations

• While there is ongoing discussion and committee review of the proposals, there is currently no confirmed faculty vote scheduled for March

• The final decision-making process involves multiple stakeholders and faculty committees

• Student protests and rallies have been pushing for expedited action on these proposals
