The UNC Board of Trustees unanimously adopted the Sierra Student Coalition’s proposal to target clean energy in future investments for the University’s $2.1 billion endowment. The Board resolution encourages the UNC Management Company, which handles the endowment funds, to research investments that advance environmentally-friendly, clean energy strategies. The resolution will not affect current investments in coal-related energy companies. The Sierra Student Coalition led a coal divestment campaign last year that was supported by 77% of voting students.
