Fossil fuel divestment - Where We Live

Schools like Harvard and Yale sit on a gargantuan pile of money. That money is invested for the benefit of the schools, but that often means holdings in fossil fuel companies. Now campaigners want their schools to withdraw those investments for the sake of the climate, but administrators are pushing back. They argue that divesting from fossil fuels adds an unnecessary political element to their holdings, and that they can better pressure companies with a seat at the table.
