[GSC-Diversity-All] MIT possible Divestment from Sudan

[Elizabeth Margarette Clay]

This is long overdue in my opinion. Please take a look at this (and send it to
your classmates) if you are concerned about the genocide in Sudan:


>>President Hockfield recently asked the Advisory Committee on
>>Shareholder Responsibility (ACSR) to convene to discuss possible
>>divestment from Sudan in regards to the ongoing genocide in Darfur:

>>http://www-tech.mit.edu/V126/N38/38sudanstatement.html
>>
>>The ACSR in turn is asking for student input and trying to gauge
>>student surport for divestment from companies actively doing
>>business with the government of Sudan. If you'de like to make your
>>voice heard in support of such a move, please check out the online
>>petition supporting MIT's divestment:
>>
>>http://www.petitiononline.com/divest/petition.html
>>
>>We're hoping present the petition to President Hockfield and the
>>Advisory Committee at the end on November in preparation for their
>>final verdict on divestment. Every signature helps!

>>Thanks,
>>Kayvan
