The University does have an investment policy that includes divesting from fossil fuels. Investment managers are notified and instructed to sell any prohibited security and to vote proxies with university instructions. The University's restricted securities list is modelled after publically available lists used by divestment proponents. Negative screens are used for 100% of the endowment and include the top 200 global public coal, oil and gas companies ranked by potential carbon emissions content of reserves and ten highest polluting US utility companies and five least responsible coal mining companies. The university also engages in proxy voting. Managers use Institutional Shareholder Services for proxy voting of securities consistent with stated divestment and Catholic screens. The university also includes in its portfolio local investments supporting alternative energy manufacturing and research.
