The president of California’s Sonoma State University has been placed on leave after promising to work with pro-Palestinian protesters toward the university’s financial and academic boycott of Israel, a decision he said was made unilaterally.
In a May 14 message to students and faculty, Sonoma State’s president Ming-Tung “Mike” Lee revealed details of the terms he brokered with protesters in exchange for ending their encampment on the campus lawn, which had persisted since April 26.
