After assessing the University Office of Investments’ compliance with human rights earlier this year, for example, Amnesty International gave it a failing grade of 0/40 – the lowest score of any university examined. Not only does the University refuse to sign the UN Principles on Responsible Investment, its endowment “has no publicly available policy mentioning human rights as a consideration… and no public disclosure of investment holdings.” The diagnosis quite literally could not be worse.
