The Ad-Hoc Committee on Fossil Fuels of the Board of Trustees of the University of Pittsburgh will hold an Open Forum to allow members of the University community to express their views and provide input to the Committee related to its Charge, which includes providing the Board of Trustees with “options on whether, to what extent, and via what methods the University, in its Endowment, should consider divestment from fossil fuels in existing and/or future investments.” Read the full Ad Hoc Committee Charge here: https://www.trustees.pitt.edu/ad-hoc-committee-fossil-fuels/committee-charge

The forum will be held from 8:30 A.M. to 10:30 A.M. and is open to all members of the University community on all five campuses and to the general public.
