Fossil fuel divestment update

The University of Toronto has now officially created a committee to consider fossil fuel divestment.

One of my big tasks in the weeks ahead will be to update the brief with everything important that has happened since it was opened for attestations last September.

From the date when they first meet, the committee will have a year to produce a recommendation. President Gertler will then make his own recommendation to the Governing Council, which in turn will make the final decision.
