Peace activists protested University of Arkansas' collaboration with Honeywell, January 22, 2021.

OMNI Center for Peace, Justice & Ecology activists are asking the University of Arkansas in Fayetteville to end a nuclear weapons research and development collaboration with Honeywell International. The U of A is among 50 universities involved in such partnerships, according to the International Campaign to Abolish Nuclear Weapons (ICAN), a coalition of non-governmental organizations promoting adherence to and implementation of the United Nations nuclear weapon ban treaty.
