By jared servantez Daily Trojan USC’s campus has recently become the scene of a growing movement by pro-Palestine supporters speaking out against what they see as illegal occupation of territory and discriminatory practices by the Israeli government. The movement, known internationally as the “Boycott, Divestment and Sanctions” movement, aims to achieve sanctions or other official action against Israel. Activists hope to achieve this by means of boycotting certain Israeli institutions and stopping business in — or divesting from — companies that are involved in the occupation of what BDS supporters say is Palestinian territory. The movement has been spearheaded on campus by Students for Justice in Palestine, a pro-Palestine student group that has attempted to raise awareness for the movement by hosting events and collecting petition signatures. According to SJP President Marwa Katbi, the group is currently focusing on the Israel Divestment Campaign, which is a statewide campaign aimed at collecting enough signatures to create a ballot initiative that would require California’s two public retirement funds to divest from corporations that are directly involved in Israel’s occupation. “It’s a very focused target, and it’s smart in the sense that these companies — American and Israeli both Students push for divestment at university Students supporting Israel say the movement to stop business in Israel has no place on campus. | see divestment, page 5 | By jennifer schultz Daily Trojan USC’s Institute for Creative Technologies is gearing up for a variety of projects in the upcoming year, which it will organize from a new home — a new building that opened last week.

The institute recently moved from its old Marina Del Rey, Calif., facility into a new building in Playa Vista, a housing and corporate development just north of Los Angeles International Airport.

Beginning July 1, 2011, Gary Frazier will assume the role under a three-year contract. “My goal is to publish the best work we get. I want the Journal to continue to publish groundbreaking work,” Frazier said. Frazier first began teaching at the Marshall in 1984. Since then, he’s taught at all levels and is cur-rently teaching MBA and under-graduate students in the marketing department. “I’ve loved every minute of it. The culture is so great — the students, faculty and the interactions I have with all of them are so incredible,” Frazier said. In conjunction with teaching, Frazier has been conducting his own research at Marshall, focusing on how knowledge is transferred either through integration in the company or among sales people. “We’re asking how [companies] ensure the information they want [sales people] to transfer to the con-sumer is being transferred,” Frazier said. Before coming to USC, Frazier worked as a consultant for vari-ous companies, including General Electric, Coca-Cola and Microsoft, providing expert testimony for these organizations. “I had reasonable business expe-rience, but my consulting experi-ence has been the most helpful in really learning how marketing is practiced,” Frazier said. Frazier has been involved with the Journal of Marketing since 1980, when he first began reviewing arti-cles. After serving on the editorial review board for the Journal for 24 years, Frazier became co-editor in 2009. “All of my reviewing experience and role as a co-editor has been re-ally critical in helping me attain the role I have now as editor,” Frazier said. As editor of the Journal of Marketing, Frazier will assign three to four reviewers to all submitted articles, where there are several rounds of reviews, edits and recommendations. Ultimately, Frazier will read all articles that are recommended by the reviewers and make the final decision on whether they will be published. Frazier said his goals for the journal include building its already Marshall professor chosen as editor of business journal Gary Frazier has worked as a consultant for companies such as General Electric and Microsoft. | see Frazier, page 6 | Photo courtesy of Gary Frazier Back in business · Gary Frazier, a professor at the Marshall School of Business, has been chosen as editor of the Journal of Marketing. s t u d e n t s TALKBACK Every TUESDAY.
