Diane Francis: University takes dimwitted stand against prosperity by divesting from oil stocksUniversity of Guelph’s grandstanding move is an insult to Canada and its critically important oil and automotive sectors There's nothing wrong with divesting for ethical reasons if you're consistent. If you divest from oil but allow Chinese propaganda elements to operate at your university and invest in Chinese products, you're supporting genocide and organ harvesting. Let them all drop them and I can buy them cheap. I love the royalties. No problems invest we’re you like with your money, but no more subsidies. No more tax payers money . Make it on your own or don’t make it at all. Better yet could save billions yearly if stop all direct funding to all colleges and universities. Tuition alone
