UMaine mentioned in New York Times opinion piece
An opinion piece in The New York Times about campuses that have stopped investing in fossil fuel included the University of Maine. “After pressure from student groups, Stanford announced in 2014 that it would not make direct investments in publicly traded companies whose principal business is coal mining. The University of Maine followed suit in 2015, divesting all direct holdings from coal companies. In 2017, Columbia University announced divestment from producers of coal burned to generate electricity,” wrote Devi Lockwood, a member of the Harvard University class of 2014.
