Committee meets with trustees to discuss Smith’s South African shares
The Ethical Investment Committee (EIC), the South African Task Force, and the Smith College Board of Trustees met to discuss Smith’s holdings in South Africa and what should be done with those holdings. The EIC submitted a proposal for total divestment in two years, a proposal that was endorsed by 23 heads of Smith organizations. The trustees listened to the committee members, but said that they would wait to disclose their final decision until the next Board meeting in February.
