Students demanded that the College disinvest its endowment fund from all fossil fuel investments. (Which make up less than 2% of its total portfolio) Lots of protests etc.
The Bursar wrote to them saying that disinvesting immediately was not possible for genuine reasons but what he could do was turn off the gas central heating throughout the College.
That would be dangerous bleated the students!
Yes - said the Bursar - but it is something you can do that will effect YOU - rather than demand others do something whilst you carry on regardless.....
Clever man that Bursar.
