<span class="_fbReactionComponent__eventDetailsContent fsl">FOR SIX
YEARS the university has been ignoring the voices of students and
faculty pleading for responsible action around climate change.
Meanwhile, UIUC publicly endorses sustainability and publicly
condemns the fossil fuel industry while behind closed doors
casually invests $5.1 million dollars in coal <br>
<br>
Our investment in coal links the success of our university to the
success of the coal industry. This is unaccepable.<br>
<br>
We are calling once again for change. Join us on Monday, April 4th
at 1pm on the quad. Your individual participation and attendance
matters. Together, we can be too loud to ignore. <br>

After the rally and six years of stalling, the <span
class="text_exposed_show">Academic Senate is voting on two
resolutions, the importance of which cannot be overstated. They
are to:<br>
<br>
1. TO CHANGE HOW WE INVEST by switching from our current mutual
funds to socially responsible investment funds (hundreds of
institutions have done this) that screen for unethical
investments including fossil fuels <br>
<br>
2. TO CREATE A PERMANENT COMMITTEE to oversee investments and
create a pathway for future campaigns to make sure our money is
being invested responsibly. <br>
<br>
Please message one of the student leaders if you'd like more
information on these resolutions or if you want to volunteer.</span></span><br>
