Five representatives of Fossil Fuel Divest Harvard, a student group calling on the University to divest its endowment from the fossil fuel industry, met with University President Lawrence S. Bacow and several members of the Harvard Corporation — the University’s highest governing body — in a closed-door meeting last week.
In the meeting — which took place virtually on Dec. 16 and marked the first discussions between divest organizers and administrators in more than a year — the student activists pushed Harvard to adopt a seven-point plan released in May that calls for full disclosure and divestment of fossil fuels, according to a Divest Harvard press release.
