No Student Trustees Now — but Investing Committee is Approved

Jan 28, 2010 (NYC) — The Board of Trustees has approved USS’s multi-year Agenda Item for the Board to establish a Socially Responsible Investments Committee (SRI) to ensure the University does only the best things with its money. This great news results from a trustee-student-admin-faculty committee which met for most of 2009; the University’s money will be invested according to this policy and students will be appointed to the Committee shortly.
Sadly, however, the Trustee Special Committee’s other unanimous proposal that there be four voting student members of the Board of Trustees, was put on hold.
