An association of American professors with almost 5,000 members has voted to endorse an academic boycott of Israeli colleges and universities, the group announced Monday, making it the largest academic group in the United States to back a growing movement to isolate Israel over its treatment of Palestinians.
The group, the #American_Studies_Association, said that its members approved the boycott resolution by a 2-to-1 margin in online balloting that concluded Sunday night, with about a quarter of the members voting.
“The resolution is in solidarity with scholars and students deprived of their academic freedom, and it aspires to enlarge that freedom for all, including Palestinians,” the American Studies Association said in a statement released Monday.

Le conseil national de la American Studies Association a voté une résolution en faveur du boycott universitaire. Comme d’habitude, elle va recevoir beaucoup de lettres de protestation et a besoin d’autant si ce n’est plus de lettres de soutien d’individus, d’organisations, liées à l’université ou non :
