The University of Nebraska-Lincoln's Student Government passed the 'Divest for Humanity Act' with a 22-10 vote, calling for divestment from funds allocated to Israel. The resolution, backed by Students for Justice in Palestine, highlights concerns over the University's $9 million investments in defense contractors.

Opponents claim the measure is antisemitic and counterproductive. Despite the vote, university officials, including Board of Regents Chairman Paul Kenney, stated there are no plans to act on the resolution.
