Cambridge University Council will review a report on its £4.2 billion endowment fund's ties to arms manufacturers following student protests advocating for divestment from Israeli companies. While the university claims no direct arms investments, it admits that around 1.7% of its portfolio is in the aerospace and defense sector. A report has recommended divesting from companies producing illegal weapons under UK law, as King's College Cambridge pledges to exclude investments in companies engaged in illegal or unethical activities by 2025.
