Harvard declines student group’s call to divest oil and gas stocks

But a statement issued by Harvard said the university’s Corporation Committee on Shareholder Responsibility plans to meet with members of Students for a Just and Stable Future, a group that advocates for fossil fuel divestment and clean energy.
