The University of Nebraska-Lincoln's Student Government approved the 'Divest for Humanity Act' in a 22-10 vote, advocating for divestment from funds linked to Israel. Proponents argue that the University’s $9 million investment in defense contractors contributes to violence against Palestinians.

Critics label the measure as antisemitic. The resolution has been criticized by state officials, including Governor Jim Pillen, who condemned it as radical. Despite the student vote, university officials indicated no intention to implement the resolution, stating it is not binding.
