Call for a Standing Committee on Investment Responsibility

About the SCIR initiative:

MIT Amnesty International, together with several other students and student groups, has been advocating that MIT establish a Standing Committee on Investment Responsibility (SCIR). Many other universities such as Harvard, Stanford and Yale already have such a committee.

See our SCIR FAQ for more information and to read the text of our proposal.
MIT Should Establish a Standing Committee on Investment Responsibility, by Ali S. Wyne and Alice H. Amsden, MIT Faculty Newsletter, January/February 2008.
In collaboration with the Responsible Endowments Coalition, Amnesty International recently published a handbook on endowment ethics.

The following MIT student groups support the SCIR proposal. Please e-mail us if you wish to be added to the list.
