Well, UVM has a Holocaust Studies Center, founded by the late Raoul Hillberg, the dean of Holocaust Studies. So an academic boycott would be a particularly hard sell. The current chair of Holocaust Studies has already written complaining how such a boycott would interfere with the work of his center given that many of the scholars are in Israel. I was thinking more at this point of a corporate divestment campaign having the Board of Trustees dump companies doing business there.
