Stanford University said it will stop investing in coal companies in response to a student-led campaign aimed at curbing climate change.
The university’s board of trustees voted yesterday to no longer make direct investments in publicly traded companies that mine coal for energy generation. The vote followed the recommendation of a panel including students, faculty, staff and alumni that has been studying the impact of fossil-fuel companies for several months, Stanford said in a statement.
