The faculty union for New York City's public university system, the City University of New York, has rescinded an Israel boycott vote a month after approving divesting from Israeli institutions. The vote was divisive within the union and drew criticism from various groups. The resolution cited the death toll in Gaza and anti-Israel measures as reasons for the boycott. The union held a second vote on the divestment resolution, which was rejected. The union leadership opposed the boycott, and irregularities were identified in the initial vote.
