    Dear Joe,
    Thank you for submitting Student Assembly Resolution 56, “Support of the Divestment from Fossil Fuels,” for my consideration.
    With the University Assembly, Employee Assembly, Graduate and Professional Student Assembly, and Faculty Senate all joining with the SA in passing fossil fuel divestment resolutions, I will submit all of the resolutions to the Board’s Executive and Investment Committees, with notification to the full board. Please note, however, that at the present time the board and the administration are focused almost exclusively on managing the current emergency situation, so it’s uncertain whether it will be possible to address this at the next board meeting or whether it will have to wait for a subsequent one.
    Thank you again for supporting the smooth functioning of our system of shared governance.
    Sincerely,
    Martha Pollack
