DePaul Students Vote On
Boycott Of Israeli Hummus
CHICAGO (JTA) — Students at
DePaul University in Chicago are
voting on what brand of hummus
they want served on campus.
The outcome of the student ref-
erendum, which was requested by
Students for Justice in Palestine, is
nonbinding.
The Sabra nd of the chickpea
dip had been served until last
November, when the pro-Palestin-
ian student group objected because
Sabra is half-owned by the Strauss
Group. Strauss has publicly sup-
ported the Israel Defense Forces
and provides care packages and
sports equipment to Israel's Golani
and Givati brigades.
The DePaul food service sus-
pended selling Sabra hummus,
even though the request did not go
through the university's internal
Fair Business Practices Committee,
as is customary. The brand was
reinstated pending a decision by
the committee, which will take the
student referendum into consider-
ation.
