---|
| Rosen, Christine | UC Berkeley | Haas School of Business | Faculty | The University of CA needs to use its financial clout as well as its reputation as a world class research and teaching institution to speed the world's transition to clean energy. | View |
| Kroskrity, Paul | UC Los Angeles | Anthropology, American Indian Studies | Faculty | The right thing to do for our planet and our relationship to it. | View |
| Smith, Rachel | UC San Diego | Environmental Chemistry | Student/Postdoc | The money I'm borrowing is being invested in destroying the planet and that is atrocious. If I'm going to be in debt forever I would like to at least feel like my money isn't hurting future generation | View |
| Kimberg, Leigh | UC San Francisco | Medicine | Faculty | The health of our planet and all life are completely interconnected; we have caused catastrophic destruction of life through the use of fossil fuels. Divestment works to create needed social change. | View |
| Lake, William | UC Los Angeles | Physics & Astronomy | Student/Postdoc | The fossil fuel industry is poisoning this planet not just for us, but also (and especially) for future generations. It is our responsibility to end the world’s reliance on fossil fuels. | View |
| Appel, Hannah | UC Los Angeles | Anthropology and Global Studies | Faculty | The current limited paradigm of economic growth - also known as hydrocarbon capitalism - has put our planet into great and perhaps irreversible peril. Divestment is a small step in the right direction | View |
| Kesner, Dave | UC San Diego | Library/DLDP | Staff | The correlation between the burning of fossil fuels and climate change is undeniable and considered settled science. UC must do its part to alleviate the burden being placed on our planet. | View |
| Kishi, Donald | UC San Francisco | Clinical Pharmacy | Faculty | The clock is ticking on Global Warming | View |
| Wheeler, Stephen | UC Davis | Human Ecology | Faculty | The climate crisis--and the sustainability crisis more generally--is the growth challenge of our time. | View |
| Bramhall, Rick | UC San Diego | None | Community member (no relationship with UC) | The Climate Crisis is here! I support this because I support all the UC students who will have to live with the consequences of inaction.
| View |
| Le Page, Lydia | UC San Francisco | Physical Therapy, and Radiology | Student/Postdoc | The climate crisis is devastating our world, and we need to act now. I would be proud of UC taking such action. | View |
| Barton, Tyler | UC Santa Barbara | Environmental Studies, Sociology | Student/Postdoc | The change our planet needs comes from every level of all of our lives including the university I attend. If we are going to be serious about this, we need to ALL do our part. | View |
| Fabella, Krystl | UC San Diego | Management Science | Student/Postdoc | Students should not be financially complicit on works that go against sustainability and negatively impact our environment. | View |
| Roxworthy, Emily | UC San Diego | Theatre and Dance | Faculty | So UC leads the country in saving our planet | View |
| Goldenson, Naomi | UC Los Angeles | Institute of the Environment and Sustainability | Student/Postdoc | So much relevant research is being done right here. Climate change affects the people of California, who the UC is meant to serve. We should be leading on this issue. | View |
| Aguilar, Victor | N/A | other | Community member (no relationship with UC) | save the planet from vampire corporations killing our planet for money. | View |
| Elek, Oskar | UC Santa Cruz | Computational Media | Student/Postdoc | Power is where the money is, and vice versa. Also, and maybe more importantly, there's a symbolic message to this act - stronger than words alone. | View |
| Traweek, Sharon | UC Los Angeles | Gender Studies | Faculty | Overdue | View |
| Drew, Jesse | UC Davis | Cinema and Digital Media | Faculty | Our university should take the lead on protecting our earth. | View |
| Albanese, Catherine L | UC Santa Barbara | Religious Studies | Faculty | Our planet is in peril, and we must do everything feasible to lessen our carbon footprint. Climate change cannot be wished away without effective action. | View |
| Altstatt, Ann | UC Santa Cruz | Arts Division | Staff | Our collective future depends on action taken now! | View |
| Moraga, Cherrie | UC Santa Barbara | English | Faculty | Only through divestment will transnationals suffer the financial loss forcing them to support alternate programs. With divested monies future alternate energy solutions can be developed. | View |
| Jew, Bryant | UC San Diego | Marine Biology | Student/Postdoc | Of the many things that we as a community can do to help combat climate change, this is perhaps one of the most important. | View |
| Landman, Miriam | UC Santa Cruz | Community Studies | Alumnus | Not only is divesting from all fossil fuel funds the morally right thing to do (to try to prevent the suffering/extinction of humans and other species), but it's the financially smart thing to do. | View |
| Shrayber, Ilya | UC Davis | Design | Student/Postdoc | not a lot of dinosaurs left | View |
| Shoptaw, John | UC Berkeley | English | Faculty | Next spring I'll be teaching a research seminar in Ecopoetry (English 190). I want to be able to tell my students, whose future is at stake, that UC has begun divesting from fossil fuels. | View |
| Brinkley, Catherine | UC Davis | Human Ecology | Faculty | My research has focused on countries that have been able to decouple GDP from GHG. The UCs are on track to do that and their investments should spur a low-carbon future beyond the campus. | View |
| Katz, Spencer | UC Davis | Political Science | Student/Postdoc | My future depends on it. | View |
| Le, Annie | UC San Diego | Human Biology | Alumnus | My education and campus involvement shaped my commitment to building a more socially and environmentally just world. Divesting from extractive, polluting coal, oil, and natural gas is the right step. | View |
| Green, Shulamite | UC Los Angeles | Psychiatry | Faculty | Money is currently one of the most powerful ways to affect climate change - we desperately need to make it more expensive to burn fossil fuels and the UC divesting from the worst offenders will help. | View |
| Becker-Varano, Tama | UC Berkeley | None | Community member (no relationship with UC) | Mitigating climate crisis demands a fossil fuel free future. | View |
| Stucky, Galen | UC Santa Barbara | Chemistry & Biochemistry, Materials | Faculty | might gain a few more days | View |
| Ungerleider, John | UC Berkeley | Development Studies | Alumnus | It's the right thing, for Berkeley to be a climate leader. I learned about global warming in class at Cal in 1979! Ouch. And what have we done about it since then? | View |
| Devine, Scott | UC Davis | Land, Air, and Water Resources | Student/Postdoc | It's the right thing to do. | View |
| migala, henri | UC San Diego | International House | Staff | It's the right thing to do! | View |
| Reilley, David | UC Los Angeles | Chemistry and Biochemistry | Student/Postdoc | It's the right thing to do and the UC system is so large that it could have an impact. | View |
| Griffin, Susan | UC Los Angeles | UCLA Writing Programs | Other | It's the least we can do for the next generation. | View |
| Kleinhesselink, Andrew | UC Los Angeles | Ecology and Evolutionary Biology | Student/Postdoc | It's simple! Each cent that UC invests in fossil fuels is an endorsement of future CO2 emissions and future climate disasters for California and world. $ TALKS! | View |
| Granett, Ariella | UC Berkeley | Environmental Design | Alumnus | It's clear we need to stop burning fossil fuels for the sake of our future. | View |
| Hall, Alex | UC Los Angeles | Atmospheric and Oceanic Sciences | Faculty | It's beyond time to eliminate our reliance on fossil fuels. | View |
| McManus, Nick | UC San Diego | Biochemistry & Cell Biology | Student/Postdoc | It's absurd to keep investing in an industry with an economically and environmentally unsustainable future. This is a tangible way to make an impact on our society. | View |
| Rosenfeld, Aya | UC San Diego | Bioinformatics | Student/Postdoc | It's a step towards making students' tuition money support only clean energy! | View |
| mcclelland, sean | UC San Francisco | library | Staff | It's a no-brainer. I didn't even know we were investing in that way. We should lead by example, as we often do in other areas. Strongly support. | View |
| Wehrheim, Katrin | UC Berkeley | Mathematics | Faculty | it's 2019 and a climate emergency | View |
| Gray, Chris Hables | UC Santa Cruz | Crown College | Faculty | It is necessary and just. | View |
| Jue, Melody | UC Santa Barbara | English | Faculty | It is important to me that UC refuse to tie its economic future to the oil industry. It would be far better for UC to invest in green technologies, among other humane investments. | View |
| Moses, Katharine | UC San Diego | General Biology | Student/Postdoc | It is important for UCSD to divest from fossil fuels because of the moral and ethical implications behind it. If they reinvested in clean energy, it would also help stall climate change. | View |
| Carroll, Ella | UC Berkeley | Political Science | Student/Postdoc | It is imperative that the university honor its commitment to creating a better world by exemplifying the meaningful environmentally conscious changes necessary to combat climate change. | View |
| Mishra, Jyoti | UC San Diego | Psychiatry | Faculty | It is imperative for us to do all we can to save the planet! | View |
| Branaman, pamela | UC San Francisco | Pediatrics -ZSFG | Staff | It is imperative for our planet that we discontinue the use of fossil fuels as early as possible, as well as preserving future endowments to UC | View |
