New page

During the 1980s, students held numerous '''protests against South Africa's discriminatory policy of apartheid'''. Their aim was to get the university to divest from South Africa, helping to place economic pressure on the government there to end the policy. The protests culminated in a takeover of [[Hamilton Hall]] in April, [[1985]]. Although the university agreed to divest in the aftermath, it did not do so until [[1991]], when talks to end the apartheid regime were already well underway.

-Initial protests took place in [[1978]], following a successful movement against the endowment of a chair for former Secretary of State Henry Kissenger. The 1978 protesters constituted a broad coalition of students and faculty, who held numerous sit- and teach-ins throughout the year. A takeover of the [[Business School]] late in the year prompted Columbia's initial divestment, from stocks and bonds directly associated with the South African government.
