<p>The online handmade goods marketplace, Etsy, is at a crossroads. After booming during the pandemic, the company&#8217;s gross merchandise sales have been flat in 2022 and 2023. Etsy&#8217;s stock is down more than 70% from its all-time high in 2021, and its first-quarter 2024 earnings report revealed another disappointing earnings miss. Some of its sellers say the company&#8217;s laser-sharp focus on growth has pushed Etsy away from its core mission — to keep commerce human — and instead allows for an increasing number of drop shippers to join the platform.</p>

<p>One constant refrain at these protests is the call for college endowment funds to divest from Israel and the many American companies that do business there. Tech companies such as Google and Amazon and defense contractors such as Boeing and Lockheed are on that list.</p>
<p>&quot;These endowments are famously opaque,&quot; said Alison Taylor, clinical associate professor at New York University&#8217;s Stern School of Business. &quot;So there is very often not any information publicly available about what is happening to these funds. And that is, in fact, one of the student demands as well.&quot;</p>
