Divestment Continues

The College continues to divest stock on a selective basis from American companies doing business in South Africa. Adhering to the Sullivan Principles, a set of guidelines that measure American companies' efforts to combat apartheid, the College has reduced stocks in South African-involved companies in its endowment from 15 percent in 1985 to 4.7 percent this year $26.8 million out of a total endowment of $564.4 million.

In May, the faculty urged that within two years Dartmouth divest itself of all holdings in companies doing business in South Africa. The Trustees are scheduled to discuss divestment policy at their summer retreat this month.
