Hey people

Someone just made a FOI request for a breakdown of the university's
endowment investments [1] which the university has previously promised
to clear of investments in fossil fuel companies.

They have not kept their word.

If you look at the breakdown for the £2,849,898 in the Blackrock
Charifaith Common Investment Fund [2] you can see that there is still an
investment in Royal Dutch Shell PLC.

I must confess to not being surprised.
