BFA discussion re: Resolution for TIAA Divestment

BFA CU Logo

In February, members of the BFA Budget & Planning Committee (BPC) along with members from the BFA Climate, Science, and Education Committee (CSEC) agreed to create a joint subcommittee to create a resolution calling on CU's retirement fund company TIAA to divest from it's holdings in oil and gas. The group drafted a resolution, BFA-R-2-030122 Resolution for TIAA Divestment & Climate Reinvestment which was introduced at the BFA March 3, 2022 meeting as a notice of motion. The resolution expands on previous BFA resolutions and acknowledges Chancellor Philip DiStefano's 2021 "Call to Climate Action." It also calls on TIAA as the sole administrator of retirement funds available to 兔子先生传媒文化作品 faculty to make a number of changes to the one Social Choice fund it offers, including developing a more robust selection of funds without holdings in the fossil fuels industry or deforestation-risk companies, and to reinvest in companies that invest in a climate-responsible and socially just transition.

After discussion on the resolution, BFA Chair Tiffany Beechy announced that the BFA would host a seperate session on Thursday, March 17 from 4-5pm via Zoom for further discussion on the resolution. This session will have a faculty focus, but is open to 兔子先生传媒文化作品 students, staff, and faculty. BFA Representatives and their constituents have until March 31 to send questions, comments, and proposed edits for consideration. Emails and other questions on the listening session should be sent to: bfa@colorado.edu.
