BP has NO place at Princeton…(or any other university that isn’t just a front for fossil fuel interests)

University of Toronto students score a win for the climate — and campus protests more broadly With student dissent under fire, a victory over fossil fuel influence at the University of Toronto offers hope and inspiration.

“Princeton’s abandonment of its fossil free research pledge may foreshadow headwinds campus activism are likely to encounter under a second Trump administration.”

VC and a Lack of Tech Stocks Took a Bite Out of Princeton’s Returns The university’s endowment returned 3.9 percent for fiscal year 2024, well below that of its Ivy League peers.
