Duke recommits itself to fossil fuels and an unlivable future for its students in recent ACIR report
As of today, 234 other universities across the world have committed to divesting their endowments from fossil fuels, meaning that they no longer invest any portion of their endowments in the stocks, bonds, or funds of oil, coal and gas companies. In a recent report by the Duke Advisory Committee on Investment Responsibility (ACIR), Duke has recommitted itself to the opposite, deciding once again that profits and loyalty to its fossil fuel shareholders come first, before the precious Climate Commitment and before the future of our world. As President Price said in a recent interview, "It is presently not practical for DUMAC to account for carbon emissions in its portfolio."
