The best time to divest was yesterday.
Earlier this month, we elected a new DSG president by a razor-thin margin, with the two candidates separated by only twenty-five votes. On the same ballot and in stark contrast, the student body overwhelmingly voted in favor of the referendum for divestment of fossil fuel-affiliated holdings in the university’s endowment. 2,456 undergraduates voted “yes.” Only 203 voted “no.”
