From the MEE article, sounds like Oxford Uni is still invested in Israel, including the illegal settlements:
'The debate comes days after the International Centre of Justice for Palestinians (ICJP), a UK-based group, launched a formal complaint on Tuesday with the Charity Commission against Oxford's All Souls College, which has an endowment of over $600m and was founded in 1438 by King Henry VI.
The revelation follows a series of freedom of information requests made in July and August 2024, which revealed the college maintains over $1m worth of investments in four companies listed by the United Nations as being involved in Israeli settlements in the occupied Palestinian territories.
ICJP alleged in its complaint that these investments violated not just international but also domestic British law.'
