Divest UVic

Despite a strong financial case and the clear moral imperative of divestment, most Canadian universities are still doubling down on false solutions like shareholder engagement, writes Emily Lowan.

It is imperative that educational institutions, including the University of Victoria, join schools across Canada that have committed to fossil fuel divestment, write University of Victoria students Hailey Chutter, Robin Pollard and Emma-Jane Burian.

Despite recent successes, students urging their universities to divest from fossil fuels say school administrations need to pay closer attention to their demands.
