Guest column by Sasha Klebnikov| Divestment is dangerous
(02/23/15 4:54am)
This week, we, the undergraduates of Penn, face a historic decision. We see the first referendum in six years, and it’s on the issue of climate change. We must decide whether or not the student body should send a mandate to the University administration that investment in fossil fuel companies is unacceptable. However, this demand is one we should not make — it will harm us, Penn and the environmental movement. Voting to divest will cause far more harm than good.
