The author states that SLU “has taken no steps, while managing the endowment, to specifically invest in companies that uphold social responsibility or grapple with climate change.” [...]

Barn

If you attended St. Lawrence in the 1970s, as President Fox did, the landscape probably looked a little different. More farms, maybe.
