WE demand better.
As a leading academic institution, the University of Pennsylvania has a moral and financial obligation to divest from the fossil fuel industry. Fossil Free Penn calls for the divestment of the University of Pennsylvania’s $20.7 billion endowment from fossil fuel assets.
The fossil fuel industry is directly responsible for exacerbating climate change, disseminating false information, and funding political corruption. By actively funding these companies, the University of Pennsylvania effectively nullifies any work to mitigate climate change. Remaining investments in this industry is financially, morally, and socially reckless.
