PROVIDENCE, R.I. -- A group of RISD students continues a sit-in protest in college president John Maeda's office asking the college to withdraw investments in fossil fuel companies.
"Yesterday brought RISD together around the topic of climate change," the DivestRISD students wrote Tuesday; "our message has been heard loud and clear: we don't want our university investing in or profiting from the destruction of the planet."
Monday, the students wrote, they met with key college officials, including the vice president of finance and the provost, "but still felt that we needed concrete commitments to be able to leave."
