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.
