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.
