This Branch Notes:

• That the university is planning a technology refresh using HP laptops.
• That HP-branded corporations provide technology and services to the Israeli military, police, and Population and Immigration Authority, which are used to maintain a system of occupation and discrimination against Palestinians.

This Branch Believes:

• That the university’s procurement processes should be ethically sound and not complicit in human rights violations.
• That the use of HP products contradicts our ethical principles and established commitment to support the Palestinian call for Boycott, Divestment and Sanctions (BDS).

This Branch Resolves:

• To urgently raise these concerns with university management.
• To demand the University reviews its procurement policy to ensure a check for complicity in Israeli apartheid is included.
