'We're not investing in students' future by engaging in relationships with companies that profit from war,' Sacramento State University President Luke Wood told CBS News.

Sacramento , California — Earlier this week, Sacramento State University President Luke Wood oversaw a peaceful end to a campus protest over the Israel - Hamas war, one of the many that have taken place at universities nationwide in recent weeks. Sacramento State's encampment came down, not with violence, but with dialogue.

'The protest ended Wednesday, as the university shared a new policy in which it 'directs its auxiliaries...to investigate socially responsible investment strategies which include not having direct investments in corporations and funds that profit from genocide, ethnic cleansing, and activities that violate fundamental human rights.'Wood reiterated to CBS News that 'we're not investing in students' future by engaging in relationships with companies that profit from war.
