Barnard Divest outside DSpar's office yesterday morning

Barnard Divest

SGA sent out an email to Barnard students this morning concerning a referendum on Barnard’s fossil fuel divestment. Following several protests on campus and the Board of Trustees announcing they will consider divestment, SGA created the referendum to gage student interest on the topic, particularly if students support divestment. All Barnard students may vote via my.barnard until Friday, January 29th at noon. You can find the link to the referendum page here.

If you’re still unsure what divesting would mean from the college even after hearing classmates protest it all the time last semester, the page includes a little FAQ about what divestment would mean for the college and individual students. Yay education! Make sure to fulfill your civic duties as a student and vote on the referendum regardless of whether you support divestment or not.
