The nine members of GUSA’s Student Life Committee voted unanimously to endorse GU Fossil Free’s divestment proposal on Nov. 19, which opened the door to a full GUSA senate vote.
”I think that it will pass pretty easily [in the full committee], but I do think that there will be some group debate that goes along with it,” said Caroline James (COL ‘16), member of the GU Fossil Free core team.
“The main things that will come up are what the financial repercussions are going to be,” she added. “A lot of people are very understandably interested in how it will affect our endowment, how it will affect our financial aid, what is our timeline, what are we proposing to reinvest in, where do we have some flexibility. … We answered all of those questions with the committee [on Tuesday] and expect to answer pretty much all of them again.”
The resolution will go to full senate vote next Sunday, Nov. 24, at 6 p.m.
