Rutgers University has announced it is divesting from fossil fuels following a campaign by students and faculty. Rutgers is the largest state university system in New Jersey. Under the plan, Rutgers will stop making new investments in fossil fuel companies and phase out existing fossil fuel investments. The university estimates about 5% of its $1.6 billion endowment consists of fossil fuel investments. We will have more on this story later in the program.
