Legality of the Academic Boycott

“The ASA’s academic boycott resolution is aimed at challenging U.S. support for a system that denies academic freedom to Palestinian students and scholars. As such, the resolution falls squarely within the educational purposes for which ASA was established. Plaintiffs’ theory that the 'ultra vires' doctrine – a corporate law theory – could limit the ASA’s First Amendment right to endorse the academic boycott is meritless and will likely be thrown out by the court." http://palestinelegal.org/news/2016/4/20/palestine-legal-statement-on-lawsuit-against-asa?rq=ASA
