An open letter signed by,
. . . 33 hugely-prominent names, has called on
. . . MIT to divest fossil fuel investments from its,
. . . $12.4 billion endowment.
These 33 signatories are not the only ones calling for MIT,
. . . to take a stand on climate change by divesting, however.
Over 3,000 MIT community members, including students, undergrads, and
. . . 43% of the Class of 2017, signed a petition,
. . . “telling MIT to take the lead against climate change,
. . . by divesting from the fossil fuel industry.”
83 members of the MIT faculty wrote their own open letter, as did,
. . . 29 student groups.
And in a striking display,
. . . the Cambridge City Council, of Massachusetts,
. . . passed resolution R-10 officially
. . . “commending MIT’s Presidential Advisory Committee on Climate Change,
. . . on their bold endorsement of divestment.”
