Nonprofit News From Elsewhere Online

Princeton University will once again allow its researchers to accept backing from fossil fuel companies, reversing a decision it made two years ago to “dissociate” from such funds. In a letter, university officials told academic staff that the policy had not only hindered scholarship on climate change but had also cost researchers the chance to join “collaborative partnerships focused on important work that is aligned with the university’s values.” A leader of a student climate group worried that the reversal could encourage research into “false, industry-friendly solutions.” Princeton has committed to divest fossil fuel holdings from its endowment, although it owns a private investment firm with shares in energy companies.
