A brief description of how the institution (or its foundation) has engaged in shareholder advocacy that promotes sustainability during the previous 3 years. :
The University removed itself from investments in Sudan in 2008. The concern over these investments was brought to the Social Concerns Committee. The committee recommended and resolved that the U of M remove any investments involved in this conflict. Investments were then taken out of the region and have not been added since. Each year, the committee reviews any issues of a similar nature.
