University of Michigan anti-Israel student government leaders impeached

The University of Michigan’s Central Student Government approved articles of impeachment against its president, Alifa Chowdhury, and vice president, Elias Atkinson, on Tuesday on charges of incitement of violence, cyber theft, and dereliction of duty.

The pair were elected last spring on an anti-Israel platform called Shut It Down, which promised to withhold funding for numerous campus activities, including a food pantry, MCAT and LSAT prep services, and an airport transportation service, until the school agreed to divest from Israel.
