Yale Investor Responsibility Committee Rejects Student Divestment Proposals
The Advisory Committee on Investor Responsibility at Yale University rejected student proposals to divest from military and natural resource companies, including Palantir, BP, Ring Energy, and LNG. The committee stated that the proposals did not meet the criteria for divestment.
Students had presented their recommendations in November, highlighting concerns over human rights violations associated with Palantir and other companies. The committee's decision, communicated via email, did not include further explanation. Committee Chair Kenneth Gillingham mentioned that the proposals did not meet the high bar for divestment outlined in Yale's ethical investment guidelines.
