Around a dozen students gathered outside NYU\u2019s Tandon School of Engineering on Monday, criticizing the school\u2019s career fair collaborations with military manufacturers and tech companies with ties to Israel.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

NYU\u2019s chapter of Students for a Democratic Society chanted slogans such as \u201cNo engineering for genocide\u201d and held signs that read \u201cMONEY FOR JOBS & EDUCATION NOT FOR BOMBS & OCCUPATION.\u201d NYU campus safety officers and six New York City Police Department officers observed from around 20 feet away.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

A student who spoke at the demonstration said it aimed to condemn Tandon\u2019s career fair in October where General Dynamics, a military contractor that <\/span>manufactures weapons<\/span><\/a> used by Israel, was invited. The student, who requested to remain anonymous due to safety concerns, added that because Tandon doesn\u2019t have demonstrations at the same scale as NYU\u2019s Washington Square campus \u2014 its on-site organizations focus on more school-specific issues.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

\u201cWithin the NYU structure, Tandon kind of functions as its own campus,\u201d the student said. \u201cThere hasn’t been a lot of organizing within Tandon to push for divestment, or at least a push to get the military out of the campus \u2014 so that\u2019s where SDS comes in.\u201d<\/span><\/p>\n

In response to <\/span>previous student protests<\/span><\/a> against Tandon\u2019s recruitment programs, NYU spokesperson John Beckman told WSN that \u201cthe calls to deprive fellow students of their choice of where to work\u201d are \u201cdeeply troubling.\u201d<\/span><\/p>\n

After 30 minutes and speeches from members of SDS and Jews Against Zionism, demonstrators marched for five minutes toward Wunsch Hall \u2014 a landmark in abolitionist history \u2014 and stopped to chant for another 10 minutes in front of its entryway staircase. NYPD officers followed as the group crossed the Brooklyn Commons.<\/span><\/p>\n

Another demonstrator with SDS, Ebtesham, reiterated the group\u2019s demands for NYU to divest from companies with ties to Israel and reallocate the money toward academic programming. He said the university \u201crefuses to cooperate\u201d with the group, and that administrators had offered to disclose its investments in negotiations with students last spring but have not communicated since. Beckman has previously told WSN that NYU is not considering divestment.<\/span><\/p>\n

\u201cWe have to continue to organize,\u201d Sham said in an interview with WSN. \u201cWe have to continue to learn from every single demonstration we do. We have to mobilize to maintain what we have now, and to win more rights and demands.\u201d<\/span><\/p>\n
