Harvard University faculty in the arts and sciences departments voted in favor of divesting university resources from fossil fuel companies, which the administration said it preferred not to use endowments for social change.
Fossil fuel divestment is not an option for Swarthmore College, per its board of managers, since divestment would cause a significant financial issue for the college.
New York University students protested the investment in fossil fuels, but the university administration allegedly threatened to take away their financial aid and housing, which led to the disbandment of the protest.
