More recently, in the early aughts, schools made rules barring investments in things like alcohol, tobacco and gambling, according to a report from the National Association of College and University Business Officers (NACUBO) and Commonfund.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>By the beginning of the next decade, a sizeable minority of endowments included some \u003ca href=\"https://apnews.com/article/what-is-esg-investing-3a98b6f584357b8e10c31b1ff93ce4b6\">environmental, social and governance criteria\u003c/a> in their portfolios, which expanded the factors considered in weighing the value of an investment beyond profits and losses.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>College and university endowments hold hundreds of billions of dollars in assets, for example, with Columbia University’s reaching $13.6 billion in 2023.

Many use the financial returns generated by those assets each year to help fund the institution’s ongoing work. Donors often give to institution’s endowments to ensure it will have resources well into the future.\u003c/p>\n\u003ch2>Who manages the investments of an endowment?\u003c/h2>\n\u003cp>Many schools, from the largest to the smallest, work with outside investment managers, like investment banks, hedge funds or specialized firms that have access to investing vehicles that aren’t available to retail investors, said Todd Ely, an associate professor in the School of Public Affairs at the University of Colorado Denver.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“Colleges and universities have fairly limited discretion in the actual specific investments that their endowment funds are going towards because they’ve hired these external experts to make those decisions. And sometimes those decisions are even proprietary,” Ely said, meaning the investors do not publicly share what’s in their portfolio.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>A board of trustees usually manages endowments at the university, and the donors agree upon the purpose of any endowment, usually to benefit the institution. They don’t “belong” to current students, faculty or alumni but rather to the organization itself.\u003c/p>\n\u003ch2>How difficult is it to change investments?\u003c/h2>\n\u003cp>Georges Dyer, executive director and co-founder of the Intentional Endowments Network, said it could take time and be difficult to identify what exposure a school’s endowment might have to a specific company.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“It’s not as simple as some people think — maybe it’s just selling some stocks at a certain company. That said, I think anything is possible in today’s financial services industry,” Dyer said.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>His network helps connect organizations with endowments to learn from each other about how to align their endowments with their mission and to make their investments sustainable and responsible, for example, in the context of climate change. The network also recommends that transparency be one principle of sustainable and mission-driven investing.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The calls for divestment from fossil fuel companies, which started in 2011, make a moral argument but also a financial one, he said, which helps gain the support of the trustees and boards that direct university investments.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“The tie back to the investment, and the financial performance and the investment performance case, is not always very clear,” Dyer said of calls for divestment based on geopolitical issues.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The protesters’ demands also raise questions about what a university’s priorities and responsibilities are, Ely said.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“Are you trying to maximize returns or promote a social or political agenda?” Ely asked. “And for those actually managing the endowments on a day-to-day basis, they are focused on risk and returns until they’re directed otherwise by those with governance authority for the college or university.”\u003c/p>\n\u003ch2>Have any schools made changes?\u003c/h2>\n\u003cp>Despite the \u003ca href=\"https://apnews.com/article/campus-free-speech-young-generation-tension-b931b0dd41aacaac5c50710de9549b09\">pressure that student protesters\u003c/a> from California to Columbia University in New York City are putting on the leadership of their schools, Dyer of the Intentional Endowments Network said he has not heard much from their member schools and institutions about divestment in this context.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Fierce disagreement about support or opposition to the war within campus communities is another reason schools have likely not taken action. Many on campuses hear calls for divestment from Israel or an end to the war as \u003ca href=\"https://apnews.com/article/campus-free-speech-young-generation-tension-b931b0dd41aacaac5c50710de9549b09\">an attack on Jewish people more broadly\u003c/a> or as glossing over the deaths and pain caused by Hamas’ attack on Oct. 7, which killed 1,200 people.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Jennie C. Stephens, a professor at Northeastern University’s policy school and a climate justice fellow at Harvard-Radcliffe, has written a forthcoming book about the movement for climate justice at universities, including calls for divestment from fossil fuels. She said the initial reaction from universities when called on to divest from fossil fuels was also to say that their funds were co-mingled with other investors, managed by third parties or that they didn’t know what they were invested in. Eventually, though, those schools that committed to divesting from fossil fuels figured out how to do it.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“These elite institutions with big endowments have a lot of power, and they concentrate wealth and power through their endowments,” Stephens said. “And they do have control over how that money is invested.”\u003c/p>\n\u003ch2>Do trustees have to listen to student demands?\u003c/h2>\n\u003cp>No. However, divestment campaigns have succeeded by using a variety of tactics.[aside label='Related Coverage' tag='gaza']At Pomona College, students voted in February to approve a referendum that included calls for the school to disclose any investments in weapons manufacturers or companies that benefit from what it called the “apartheid” system in Israel and then to divest from those companies. Kouross Esmaeli, a visiting assistant professor of media studies at Pomona College, said school leaders and trustees have told students and professors that they can’t disclose all of their investments.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“’Oh, we can’t disclose this. This is difficult to do. This is impossible to parse out where our investment is,’” Esmaeli said. “All these kinds of excuses about why we can’t have control over our own money as an institution, and no one’s buying it.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Pomona College spokesperson Mark Kendall said the administration has offered to meet with protesters and provide information about their investment policies and will continue to do so.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“Endowment investing supports our educational mission, including academic excellence and generous financial aid, over the long term,” Kendall said in an emailed statement.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Esmaeli acknowledged that divestment may take time and that the endowment may be complex, but he said the first demand of student protesters and faculty is for the university to commit to divesting from companies profiting from the war. He said the university could start with the ones identified by the Boycott, Divest, and Sanction movement.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“Different choices can be made, and rules can be changed in order to allow us to have an open endowment, where we know where our endowment is going,” he said.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>[ad floatright]\u003c/p>\n","blocks":[],"excerpt":"One of the demands of anti-war protesters on college campuses is for their schools to divest their endowments from companies that are profiting from Israel’s war against Hamas in Gaza.

Many use the financial returns generated by those assets each year to help fund the institution’s ongoing work. Donors often give to institution’s endowments to ensure it will have resources well into the future.\u003c/p>\n\u003ch2>Who manages the investments of an endowment?\u003c/h2>\n\u003cp>Many schools, from the largest to the smallest, work with outside investment managers, like investment banks, hedge funds or specialized firms that have access to investing vehicles that aren’t available to retail investors, said Todd Ely, an associate professor in the School of Public Affairs at the University of Colorado Denver.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“Colleges and universities have fairly limited discretion in the actual specific investments that their endowment funds are going towards because they’ve hired these external experts to make those decisions. And sometimes those decisions are even proprietary,” Ely said, meaning the investors do not publicly share what’s in their portfolio.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>A board of trustees usually manages endowments at the university, and the donors agree upon the purpose of any endowment, usually to benefit the institution. They don’t “belong” to current students, faculty or alumni but rather to the organization itself.\u003c/p>\n\u003ch2>How difficult is it to change investments?\u003c/h2>\n\u003cp>Georges Dyer, executive director and co-founder of the Intentional Endowments Network, said it could take time and be difficult to identify what exposure a school’s endowment might have to a specific company.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“It’s not as simple as some people think — maybe it’s just selling some stocks at a certain company. That said, I think anything is possible in today’s financial services industry,” Dyer said.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>His network helps connect organizations with endowments to learn from each other about how to align their endowments with their mission and to make their investments sustainable and responsible, for example, in the context of climate change. The network also recommends that transparency be one principle of sustainable and mission-driven investing.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The calls for divestment from fossil fuel companies, which started in 2011, make a moral argument but also a financial one, he said, which helps gain the support of the trustees and boards that direct university investments.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“The tie back to the investment, and the financial performance and the investment performance case, is not always very clear,” Dyer said of calls for divestment based on geopolitical issues.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The protesters’ demands also raise questions about what a university’s priorities and responsibilities are, Ely said.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“Are you trying to maximize returns or promote a social or political agenda?” Ely asked. “And for those actually managing the endowments on a day-to-day basis, they are focused on risk and returns until they’re directed otherwise by those with governance authority for the college or university.”\u003c/p>\n\u003ch2>Have any schools made changes?\u003c/h2>\n\u003cp>Despite the \u003ca href=\"https://apnews.com/article/campus-free-speech-young-generation-tension-b931b0dd41aacaac5c50710de9549b09\">pressure that student protesters\u003c/a> from California to Columbia University in New York City are putting on the leadership of their schools, Dyer of the Intentional Endowments Network said he has not heard much from their member schools and institutions about divestment in this context.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Fierce disagreement about support or opposition to the war within campus communities is another reason schools have likely not taken action. Many on campuses hear calls for divestment from Israel or an end to the war as \u003ca href=\"https://apnews.com/article/campus-free-speech-young-generation-tension-b931b0dd41aacaac5c50710de9549b09\">an attack on Jewish people more broadly\u003c/a> or as glossing over the deaths and pain caused by Hamas’ attack on Oct. 7, which killed 1,200 people.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Jennie C. Stephens, a professor at Northeastern University’s policy school and a climate justice fellow at Harvard-Radcliffe, has written a forthcoming book about the movement for climate justice at universities, including calls for divestment from fossil fuels. She said the initial reaction from universities when called on to divest from fossil fuels was also to say that their funds were co-mingled with other investors, managed by third parties or that they didn’t know what they were invested in. Eventually, though, those schools that committed to divesting from fossil fuels figured out how to do it.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“These elite institutions with big endowments have a lot of power, and they concentrate wealth and power through their endowments,” Stephens said. “And they do have control over how that money is invested.”\u003c/p>\n\u003ch2>Do trustees have to listen to student demands?\u003c/h2>\n\u003cp>No. However, divestment campaigns have succeeded by using a variety of tactics.\u003c/p>\u003c/div>","attributes":{"named":{},"numeric":[]}},{"type":"component","content":"","name":"aside","attributes":{"named":{"label":"Related Coverage ","tag":"gaza"},"numeric":[]}},{"type":"contentString","content":"\u003cdiv class=\"post-body\">\u003cp>At Pomona College, students voted in February to approve a referendum that included calls for the school to disclose any investments in weapons manufacturers or companies that benefit from what it called the “apartheid” system in Israel and then to divest from those companies.

The current camera network has detected nearly 3 million unique cars per month, according to the city’s Flock portal.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>In just an 18-day period in December 2022, the city’s cameras captured nearly 16 million total scans, which can include multiple scans of the same vehicle in different locations, according to police. The total scans will only increase as the city’s arsenal of cameras more than doubles.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“It casts a net over the entire community, tracking where drivers go and allowing law enforcement to, if they chose, create maps of where drivers work, live, worship, seek medical care, and travel,” said Hidalgo of ACLU Northern California.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>His research into San José’s ALPR program from 2022 showed that more than 99.99% of the plates scanned do not match any hotlists for police. If the car or plate is not implicated in an investigation, the SJPD then keeps every plate scanned for a year before purging it.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Many law enforcement agencies using similar Flock systems purge license plate data every 30 days.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Hidalgo said it’s not just invasive that police track that much data on people who aren’t suspected of any crimes, but by keeping it for a year, the city puts the data at further risk for misuse or to be inadvertently disclosed in a data breach.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Joseph, the police chief, said the department keeps the data for one year based on the recommendation of the city attorney’s office, indicating the law requires it.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>[aside label=\"Related Stories\" postID=\"news_11983106,news_11983119,news_11966615\"]Albert Gehami, San José’s privacy officer, said the city is aware other agencies do not keep similar data for as long as San José does.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“When it has nothing to do with an investigation, a year is excessive,” Gehami said of the data. “Police departments up and down, everyone that we speak to, [say] there is no need for that information. It is strictly what our attorney’s office has decided is the current interpretation.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>City Attorney Nora Frimann said the retention period has been in place for more than a decade, going back to when the police department trialed other license plate reader technology and before the state required cities to have formal ALPR policies in place.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“It just made sense to keep it for a year,” Frimann said.
