'The referendum, proposed and written by the pro-Palestine Sumud Coalition, asked three questions. The first two ask whether Yale should disclose and divest from its holdings in military weapons manufacturers, “including those arming Israel,” and the third asks whether Yale should “act on its commitment to education by investing in Palestinian scholars and students.”
'The first question received 83.1 percent “yes” votes, the second 76.6 and the third 79.5.
'For all three questions, the total number of respondents who voted “yes” also amounted to over one third of the student body. All three referendum questions therefore met the requirements set by the YCC constitution to officially pass.'
