..—it is #ecocidal. #BAE profits from destruction that fuels #ClimateCollapse, yet the #OU claims to value sustainability.
why is the ou engaging in this criminal behaviour for years now, whilst teaching me about so called crime?
the university has a #moral imperative to defend freedom and justice across the world, including the human rights of its academic colleagues in the #Palestinian territories..

i study #criminology and #psychology at the #OpenUniversity whilst they use my tuition fees to profit #BAE #cisco #alphabet #microsoft who are committing #warcrimes & #genocide in #palestine.
rather hypocritical to teach me about crime & psychology but refusing to accept accountability for its own behaviour.
the #OU has treated our complaints with absolute disregard and denial.

actionnetwork.orgWe Call on The Open University to Divest from Israel and the Arms Industry As of March 2024 the Open University held £91.4 Million in an investment fund that (according to January's accounts) holds 17.78% of its portfolio in companies complicit in the occupation, oppression and dispossession of the Palestinian people. This is an equivalent to £16,250,920 of the OU’s known investments. As staff, students, alumni and supporters of The Open University, we believe such investments are incompatible with the institution's mission to promote social justice. Join us and call on The Open University to divest from Israel and the arms industry. Please sign our petition and promote our campaign. The campaign is coordinated by The Open University UCU Branch, OU Palestine Solidarity Group and the OU Friends of Palestine. Signatories names will be sent to the petition's addressees only and will not be published online.
