College student request endowments to drop fossil fuel investments

<p>I understand what they are trying to do, but won’t this put the endowment fund growth at risk which will hurt future students? Or not? </p>

<p>This is why my energy investments are in Canada.</p>

<p>I’m sure that the Chinese would love to own more of our oil companies.</p>

<p>Warren Buffet too.</p>

<p>Anyone that wants yield. Like the huge wave of baby boomers that will be retiring in the next ten years. Pension will love getting oil and natural gas companies at a discount.</p>

<p>The latest random “cause” de jour. Most schools will ignore them.</p>

<p>not happening. I know people at Harvard Mgt Co and I sincerely doubt they will listen. </p>

<p>Tell them to stop driving anywhere and live in a tent outside, so they aren’t using fossil fuels to heat or cool their dorm. Also, they need to strip off all synthetic materials and get rid of their laptops smart phones. I wonder how quickly they will learn fossil fuels are somehow related to everything they touch.</p>

<p>I like to see that student try to live on sunshine and windpower alone. Kumbaya.</p>
