In response to: Divestment Advice
Current issue
October 2024
Exit interviews with alumni retiring from Congress; the Supreme Court’s seismic shift; higher education on the ballot
A tip of the hat to President Eisgruber for his dedicated and outstanding stewardship these past three years or so.
With respect to PAW’s brief “Divestment Advice” story, I agree that 1) “the University community as a whole” should be involved in any divestment decision, and 2) “the activities or practices of a company or companies must be seriously inconsistent with a core University value.”
It seems clear that serious divestment requests, if not demands, will recur. It is not only helpful but necessary that we be reminded of what in fact our core University values are. Might President Eisgruber or his staff provide us with a working list?
