The universities and colleges below are confirmed to reject the academic boycott of Israel passed by the American Studies Association.

This list is based on positions expressed by the Presidents of such Universities or others in a position to state a university’s position (e.g., communications staff). We are aware of no university in the U.S. endorsing the boycott. See University statements rejecting academic boycott of Israel.

This is a list in progress and will be updated as more announcements/confirmations are made.

These are in addition to the Association of American Universities, the umbrella organization for 62 major universities and university-systems, and the American Association of University Professors, both of which reject the boycott.

Universities who have outright rejected boycotts of Israel are listed first, followed by colleges who have terminated individual memberships with American Studies Association departments, and lastly universities who deny that they are members of the American Studies Association but are still listed as members on the ASA website.
