Dear Vice Chancellor,
I believe that Loughborough University should not invest in, receive money from or otherwise work with companies that profit from:
1) Violent conflicts
2) Environmental destruction
3) Exploitation of third world and child labour
Please institute a robust ethical investment policy and carry out a review of companies currently linked to academic courses and research.
Reaching this point has been a long and draining road that often felt ignored by those in charge. Seeing this momentum grow reminds me that the fight for ethical standards is far from over despite the silence from the leadership.
