Joined together near the Broyhill Fountain, students urged University of Nebraska administrators to commit to full divestment.
Aila Ganic and Madison Whitney, Sustain UNLâs president and vice president, respectively, and Divest NU organizers, presented three demands to the university.
These include a call on the NU Board of Regents to commit to full divestment of its controlled funds by its August meeting, pass a resolution calling on the NU Foundation to fully divest by the end of the year and create a university-wide working group â that would include students â dedicated to the implementation of divestment and reinvestment in clean energy.

If Government Bill 42 passes, ASUN will continue to work with the Office of the Executive Vice Chancellor to advocate for transparency in student fees for the 2021-22 academic year as well as future years. ASUN would create a webpage under the Student Fees tab of its website that would directly link to the new Executive Vice Chancellor website that strives to underline all man
