<b><u>University to establish a Commission to
review Divestment</u></b></p>
<p style="margin: 0cm 0cm 10pt; line-height: 115%;

I am writing to let you know that Council has
agreed that a Commission be established by UEC to
review the issue of University investment in the
fossil fuel industry and the consequences of
possible divestment.</p>
<p style="margin: 0cm 0cm 10pt; line-height: 115%;
font-family:
"Calibri","sans-serif";
font-size: 11pt;">
This development responds to increasing interest
from students and staff in the issue and
recognition by UEC of the need to listen to a
breadth of views from across the University
community and to consult with elected student
representatives.</p>
<p style="margin: 0cm 0cm 10pt; line-height: 115%;
font-family:
"Calibri","sans-serif";
font-size: 11pt;">
The University has consulted with Durham Students’
Union on the scope of this work and, having
listened to their views, the Commission will
consider divestment from companies “that
participate in exploration for and/or extraction
of fossil fuel reserves”.</p>
<p style="margin: 0cm 0cm 10pt; line-height: 115%;
font-family:
"Calibri","sans-serif";
font-size: 11pt;">
The Commission will be co-ordinated, under my
leadership, by Dr Amanda Ellison, and membership
will comprise student body representatives as
well as staff representatives, the Chief Financial
Officer, Sally McGill, and the Director of
Governance and Executive Support, Kate Deeming. </p>
<p style="margin: 0cm 0cm 10pt; line-height: 115%;
font-family:
"Calibri","sans-serif";
font-size: 11pt;">
All staff and students will be given the
opportunity to contribute to the review.</p>
<p style="margin: 0cm 0cm 10pt; line-height: 115%;
font-family:
"Calibri","sans-serif";
font-size: 11pt;">
The Commission will hold its first meeting at the
beginning of the 2016/17 academic year, and
regular updates will be available via the
dedicated webpage:
