Tufts Enowment and socially responsible investing

Tufts Coalition for Endowment Transparency and Democracy is a group at Tufts which is
working to set up a committee of students, alumni, and faculty
to advise the Board of Trustees on socially responsible investing.
This label includes divesting the Tufts endowment from companies that
do business with Sudan, and allow them to commit genocide in Darfur.
The committee would also work with other issue areas
concerning socially responsible investing.

On Friday, February 9th, one of TCETD's members is meeting with the
Board of Trustees to present this idea. The night before from 5-6 PM,
Pangea (human rights activist group on campus) is holding a candlelight vigil for victims of the genocide in order to show university support for this committee and by extension
for divestment in a nonconfrontational manner.

After hearing about your organization, we thought that the Tufts Progressives would be
interested in attending, and in signing our petition to establish the
committee, which we will also circulate at the vigil. Since alumni
gifts account for most of the money in the Tufts endowment, it is
important that alumni (such as yourself) have a say in the where Tufts
invests that money. Please Join us!!!
