What is divestment and what does it mean for NMU?

After a two year long campaign by DivestNMU, on December 15th, 2023 the NMU
Board of Trustees voted unanimously to divest Northerns investments from the fossil fuel
industry. This means that by 2028, NMU’s endowment fund will cease to have investments
funding fossil fuels, which currently 6% is indirectly invested towards the industry as well as
increase their sustainability-related investments by up to 15%.
