A messsage from Sophie Baumert, a student divestment organiser from Glasgow Uni Climate Action society<\/a><\/strong>:<\/p>\n

Over the last year, we have been campaigning for the university to divest<\/strong><\/a> its money from the main cause of climate change – fossil fuel companies<\/strong>. Glasgow uni holds investments in the fossil fuel industry worth about \u00a318 million<\/strong>. The profits made by our uni from an industry which is leading us towards a climate crisis are unethical.<\/p>\n

After a year of hard work the University Court will finally make its decision on divestment this Wednesday. It is the most important, far-reaching decision<\/strong><\/a> that it has faced in decades. They will either vote for a stable future and sustainable planet, or to profit from wrecking the climate.\"Glasgow<\/p>\n

We are having a demo this Tuesday<\/strong> (7th October) to let the student body know about what is going on and put pressure on the university.<\/p>\n

Please flood the University of Glasgow with tweets NOW<\/strong>. Let the university know that everyone’s watching them and that they cannot make a decision behind closed doors.<\/p>\n
