As a member of the Yale community, I believe that Yale University should update the Advisory Committee on Investor Responsibility in order to ensure that our endowment is invested in a way that reflects Yale's institutional values. To that end, I support the institution of the changes recommended by the Responsible Endowment Project in their report, "Responsible Returns," including a focus on active ownership, restored transparency, elected members, and enhanced reporting.
Our petition is approaching two hundred and fifty signatures. We must reach this threshold before meeting with the administration to ensure our proposal commands the attention it deserves.

The conversation surrounding our endowment continues to evolve as more members of the university community join this initiative. I am currently documenting the feedback provided here to better articulate our collective goals during future discussions with the administration.

Refining the structure of the Advisory Committee on Investor Responsibility requires a clear demonstration of community consensus. Reaching one hundred signatures will provide the leverage necessary to present our case to the administration with greater authority.
