At Princeton and on campuses nationwide, an intense debate has broken out as to whether universities should divest their endowments from fossil-fuel companies. Institutions with large endowments like Princeton are under particular pressure to lead by example.  Some of the relevant questions include:

• What do we mean by divestment?
• Would divesting have the desired impact?
• How might divestment affect the endowment?
• What alternatives exist?

The Princeton Association of NYC (PANYC) will be hosting a panel discussion among leading thinkers about climate policy, energy and the future of shareholder capitalism, moderated by Trustee Carl Ferenbach ’64.

Panelists:
