Gli attivisti per il BDS insieme agli studenti della Cornell University per la giustizia in Palestina lanciano un appello alla Cornell University per porre fine alle sue relazione con il Technion, una università israeliana che si occupa di ricerca e sviluppo di tecnologie militari e di armi.

On Monday December 19 2011, Mayor Michael Bloomberg announced that the joint bid advanced by Cornell University and the Technion-Israel Institute of Technology in the multi-billion-dollar competition to create a massive applied sciences and technology campus on Roosevelt Island had won. While this initiative is sure to benefit Cornell University and the City of New York in many ways, the partnership with Technion means that these benefits will come at the expense of Palestinians living under Israeli occupation and, thus, also of the moral standing of the University and the City.
