USACBI “focuses on mobilizing support for the academic and cultural boycott, and on organizing U.S. academics” by inviting academic scholars and students “to endorse the boycott as a first step toward showing public solidarity and building a national boycott movement, in tandem with the larger BDS movement,” the campaign states on its website. The organization also encourages “academics, academic associations/unions, and academic — as well as other — institutions around the world” to “boycott and/or work towards the cancellation or annulment of events, activities, agreements, or projects involving Israeli academic institutions or that otherwise promote the normalization of Israel in the global academy.” Harvard, which has been plagued with antisemitism scandals following the October 7, 2023 Hamas terrorist attack against Israel and massacre of Jews in the world’s only Jewish State, is in the midst of a battle with the Trump administration that could result in the Ivy League school losing billions of dollars in federal funding and its tax exempt status.
