| Nair, Sathvik | UC Berkeley | Computer Science, Cognitive Science | Student/Postdoc | In order to truly ensure that UC leads the way in researching the mitigation of climate change, it must refuse to accept money from corporate donors furthering the problem. | View |
| Beamish, Thomas D. | UC Davis | Sociology | Faculty | Institutional divestment is a necessary step; it’s a statement about priorities and the future. | View |
| Tilly, Chris | UC Los Angeles | Urban Planning | Faculty | Interested in saving the earth. | View |
| Brown, Clair | UC Berkeley | Economics | Faculty | Investing in fossil fuel assets is financially risky and also unethical. We must care for the planet as well as care about our pension fund. Divestment does both. | View |
| Ma, Stephen | UC San Diego | Medicine | Staff | Investing in nonrenewable energy sources is unsustainable and jeopardizes the long-term stability of our time on Earth. We must seek out newer and cleaner alternative forms of energy to persist. | View |
| Sutton, Patrice | UC San Francisco | OBGYN&Reproductive Sciences | Faculty | Investing in the health of Californians means divesting from fossil fuels | View |
| pittolo, silvia | UC San Francisco | Biochem & Biophys | Student/Postdoc | It is a shame for a public, non-profit entity such as UCSF to be hypocritical on green energy: publicly advertising its zero-waste efforts, and beneath the surface investing in "dirty" energies.. | View |
| Wolff, Goetz | UC Los Angeles | Urban Planning | Faculty | It is essential that we, as an institution, address climate change | 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 |
| Mishra, Jyoti | UC San Diego | Psychiatry | Faculty | It is imperative for us to do all we can to save the planet! | 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 |
| 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 |
| 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 |
| Gray, Chris Hables | UC Santa Cruz | Crown College | Faculty | It is necessary and just. | View |
| Wehrheim, Katrin | UC Berkeley | Mathematics | Faculty | it's 2019 and a climate emergency | 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 |
| Rosenfeld, Aya | UC San Diego | Bioinformatics | Student/Postdoc | It's a step towards making students' tuition money support only clean energy! | 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 |
| Hall, Alex | UC Los Angeles | Atmospheric and Oceanic Sciences | Faculty | It's beyond time to eliminate our reliance on fossil fuels. | 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 |
| 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 |
| Griffin, Susan | UC Los Angeles | UCLA Writing Programs | Other | It's the least we can do for the next generation. | 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 |
| migala, henri | UC San Diego | International House | Staff | It's the right thing to do! | View |
| Devine, Scott | UC Davis | Land, Air, and Water Resources | Student/Postdoc | It's the right thing to do. | 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 |
| Stucky, Galen | UC Santa Barbara | Chemistry & Biochemistry, Materials | Faculty | might gain a few more days | View |
| Becker-Varano, Tama | UC Berkeley | None | Community member (no relationship with UC) | Mitigating climate crisis demands a fossil fuel free future. | 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 |
| 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 |
| Katz, Spencer | UC Davis | Political Science | Student/Postdoc | My future depends on it. | 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 |
| 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 |
| Shrayber, Ilya | UC Davis | Design | Student/Postdoc | not a lot of dinosaurs left | 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 |
| 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 |
| 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 |
| Altstatt, Ann | UC Santa Cruz | Arts Division | Staff | Our collective future depends on action taken now! | 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 |

| Traweek, Sharon | UC Los Angeles | Gender Studies | Faculty | Overdue | 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 |
| Aguilar, Victor | N/A | other | Community member (no relationship with UC) | save the planet from vampire corporations killing our planet for money. | 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 |
| Roxworthy, Emily | UC San Diego | Theatre and Dance | Faculty | So UC leads the country in saving our planet | 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 |
| 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 |
| 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 |
| 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.
