What’s the outlook for college fossil fuel divestment?
This year hasn't had 2021's high-profile announcements, but trends say colleges are likely avoiding coal, oil and gas — whether they trumpet it or not.

This is @CMCnews's funding for its campus expansion. Will @Ath_CMC or its Open Academy host a debate abt whether naming buildings after R & K is really different than after dead folks who did evil? @StopMoneyPipe @KKRkills @TheFIREorg @AAUP @divesteddotorg @sdccoalition
NEW: Private equity giant KKR bought up more than 600 group homes. We found conditions grew so dire that nurses quit, a state banned the company from accepting new residents, and some of the most vulnerable people in its care suffered and died. buzzfeednews.com/article/kendal…
