List of Universities rejecting academic boycott of Israel

The universities and colleges below are confirmed to reject the academic boycott of Israel passed by the American Studies Association.

This list is based on positions expressed by the Presidents of such Universities or others in a position to state a university’s position (e.g., communications staff). We are aware of no university in the U.S. endorsing the boycott.  See University statements rejecting academic boycott of Israel.

This is a list in progress and will be updated as more announcements/confirmations are made. If you have additions, please post in comments with source link or forward confirming emails to me.

These are in addition to the Association of American Universities, the umbrella organization for62 major universities and university-systems, and the Association of American University Professors, both of which reject the boycott.
