Student lawsuit at Harvard
"They have no legally cognizable interest in the
actions of the Harvard Corporation in its choices on how to invest.
I don't believe attending Harvard gives them any kind of interest
in the portfolio of investments."
MBA Past President Richard
P. Campbell, Boston Herald, November 21
Campbell was quoted by the Herald in a piece on a
lawsuit filed by the Harvard Climate Justice Coalition against the
Harvard Corporation, the nonprofit entity that oversees the
university's endowment. The student-led coalition seeks to have the
corporation withdraw its "direct holdings in fossil fuel
companies."
