Yale Investor Responsibility Committee Rejects Student Divestment Proposals
NATURAL GAS
The Yale Advisory Committee on Investor Responsibility has rejected student proposals to divest from military and natural resource companies, including Palantir and BP, citing that the recommendations did not meet the university's stringent ethical investment criteria. The committee's decision, communicated via email, did not provide further details, but Chair Kenneth Gillingham emphasized the high standards for divestment. Students had raised concerns about human rights violations linked to the companies in their proposals submitted in November.
