Does the institution have a committee on investor responsibility or similar body that meets the criteria for this credit?:
The charter or mission statement of the CIR or other body or a brief description of how the CIR is tasked to address social and environmental concerns :
The Social Concerns Committee is primarily concerned with the interrelationship between the University and the broader social community. It is concerned with the nature and extent of the University's response to social concerns. The committee has developed resolutions that encourage purchase of fair trade shade grown coffee, purchase of 30% content recycling paper, and development and purchase of renewable energy. The Assets management team proactively reviews investments against available lists (Sudan divestment, for example) and communicates as appropriate to ensure investors are aware to steer clear of certain investments not consistent with university values and ethics.
