PMQs verdict: Back to school for May and Corbyn

The shorts are safely back in the drawer and the paddling pool has been deflated – Britain's MPs are back to school.

But it has hardly been a restful, tranquil summer for the leaders of the two main parties.
Both Theresa May and Jeremy Corbyn have had to deal with – or ignore in Jezza's case – growing crises within their own ranks.
There are plots developing to see the back of both of them: perhaps they were glad then to return to the dispatch box where at least they are expected to have a tussle.
Tory Maggie Throup teed the PM up to twist the knife into Labour's already gaping anti-Semitism wound. Then, with real fire in her eyes, she demanded an apology from Corbyn to Britain's Jews.
"There is no place for racism in our society," Corbyn replied. No apology then.
After that shaky start from the Labour leader he quickly moved on to another subject where he has failed to cover himself in glory: Brexit.
No-deal Brexit was the specific topic. The prime minister rolled out her usual stock quotes before asking Corbyn to rule out a second referendum. He didn't because – as much as it might pain him personally – Labour's members want a People's Vote.
"She can't keep dancing around all the issues," cue laughter across the House and even a knowing grin from the PM.
May finished strongly saying Corbyn should be ashamed of himself over the anti-Semitism scandal engulfing his party. He didn't look ashamed.
So at least during PMQs the two leaders were safe. Neither had the fire power to cause any more damage to their opposite number. It is outside the chamber, yet within their own parties, that the real danger lies.
VERDICT: May shades it

I'm from Yorkshire, therefore I like beer. I grew up drinking mainly cask conditioned ale and I love the stuff. However is the growth of ever more densely hopped, and expensive to produce beers in the 'craft' sector killing cask?
This is a debate that has been raging for some time and with Leeds own Northern Monk now declaring that 'the price of cask beer is too low and is driving breweries into other forms of packaging' last week in The Morning Advertiser, I thought I'd have my say as a consumer.
Earlier in the year Cloudwater decided to completely cease its production of cask beer, citing that it wasn't financially viable, which as a brewer makes sense to me especially due to the type of beer they make. I personally think if anything it's a good decision as their beers on the whole suit the format better, and in a market quickly coming closer to saturation it's better for breweries to focus in areas they excel, rather than a broad range of styles which can become mediocre.
Again it doesn't surprise me that Northern Monk doesn't want to produce more cask beer. Their beer in general suits keg and can. As NM's director Russell Bisset says in his honest blog post on their website, there are many producers, such as Hawkshead, Timothy Taylors, Roosters, Magic Rock, Abbeydale, Kirkstall, Saltaire and Ilkley all producing amazing cask ale and they'd recommend 'seeking it out and not complaining about the price!'.
As the cost of ingredients go up in the UK (and around the world) we will have to adapt our drinking habits, and personally I have been converted to the drinking less, trying more way of drinking in the US. Where instead of the session involving pint after pint of a low percentage cask beer, it takes more of a relaxed route, maybe starting with a pint or two then a quick sample of something stronger, then maybe a few halfs of something in the middle and finishing off with a 3rd of something really strong. That way I usually drink less but end the session having tried a lot more.
After spending the last year drinking in Vancouver, and the West Coast of the US I would say that it's a drinking culture problem in the UK, cask is traditionally the cheapest option in a pub and as soon as you start paying more per cask, then charging more per pint, you're driving a certain customer away. Until the general consumer is willing to pay slightly more for their beer then the cask market will stay stagnated in my opinion.

Expedition 2: This Little LIGHT of Mine
angels creation divine feminine god light worker meditation odetta holmes personal power unity
It was a cold, March morning standing at the bus stop before the sun had risen and the song kept playing over and over in my head? "This little light of mine I'm gonna let it shine, this little light of mine I'm gonna let it shine…". A few weeks later and it is still there like a haunting melody over and over. A powerhouse, folk spiritual song which awakens something INSIDE me instantly. Was it divine, the CREATOR, God… or just a diddy that wormed its way into my subconscious without my knowledge?

Can we help – of course we can!
We get some great comments and letters from the Crumpet Enjoying Community and we got a lovely email recently from Colin on our website contact form:
Dear Sir/Madam,
Please can you help me?
Not with the winning lottery ticket, but with your excellent square crumpets!
It is extremely rare for me to write a letter of praise to a company, however . . .
I purchased a packet of your made-for-the-toaster crumpets to try a couple of weeks ago.
After years of being convinced that Warburtons were King of crumpets, I discovered that, not only were yours a wonderful taste & texture, fitting in the toasting machine a treat, but that I was able to slice them into finger-like strips (without rounded corners)!
This enabled the easier eating of them, whilst dripping with ooodles of the finest French butter & prime quality raspberry jam. Yummeeee!
Now, my problem is, I cannot buy them anywhere!
I have forgotten which supermarket I purchased the initial packet from (though quite possibly Morrisons in Middlewich as I passed through) and will, if I cannot find anywhere else in this locality (Cheshire), have to organise a return visit to their store, which is quite a distance away, specially to look for your crumpets.
Please can you tell me where (if any) shops stock your excellent product, in the Cheshire/Greater Manchester areas?
Thank you for taking the time & trouble to read my letter, I eagerly await your reply.
Kind regards,
Thanks for great email. I'm afraid we don't know the Lottery numbers… yet!
However, our Lakeland Bake MADE FOR THE TOASTER Crumpets are available at your local Morrisons and Booths stores. You can also find our ASDA Toastie in your local ASDA Store. Hope this helps!
If you're ever looking to get hold of our Crumpets – home or away – visit our Stockist page to see where you can get hold of our tasty treats!
Bunnies are BACK!!!
As we March :)= into Spring… The Bunnies are back!!!
Why not hop out and get hold of our Bunny Crumpets, available at ASDA, Morrisons, Booths and Iceland! Our Bunny Crumpets are the perfect healthy snack over the Easter break.
More exciting shaped crumpets are coming soon. Look out for other shaped product ranges including Teddy Bear Crumpets and something very magical soon…
Perfect for Kids (even the big ones :)=
Hoppy Easter from everyone at Lakeland Bake.
Our Lakeland Bake Ghosts feature in this year's ASDA Hallowe'en Television Campaign, watch it here and look out for it on TV!
Make sure you watch out for things that go 'pop' in the night – actually they you can pop them in the toaster any time of day, for great Hallowe'en treat!
Spooky Edible Slime
Here's a yummy recipe that's perfect for little monsters to go with our ghoulish new ghost crumpets!
- 1 Large bag of mini marshmallows
- 1/2 Cup vegetable oil
- 1 Cup icing sugar
- Dash of green food colouring
Ask an adult to pour the bag of marshmallows into a large microwave safe bowl and heat for 30 seconds and stop. Then repeat.
Add in the icing sugar, colouring and oil then mix together, but be careful with the hot mixture!
Let it cool for about 15 minutes. Coat your hands in some of the remaining oil and mix by hand. It will be really sticky, but you can continue adding a little oil until you are happy with the consistency.
Best played with on a washable surface! If you want to make your slime less sticky, it helps to coat your hands in some oil.

Germany Part 5: The Bavarian Alps
A visit to a 500-year-old salt mine probably doesn't rank high on many people's travel bucket lists. Of course I am not like many people.
When I first heard of the Berchtesgaden salt mine, and how it is accessible via a steep slide made for adults, I knew THIS WAS IT. The holy grail of travel experiences.
Screw Neuschwanstein. I HAD TO do this.
And so we bought tickets, donned our super stylish extra-large miner's costumes…
…and hopped on a petite train into the mouth of the mine. When we arrived, my heart fluttered when I spotted a wooden slide that extended into the darkness below. Four by four, the visitors in our group were told to slide down into oblivion, without any seatbelt or safety harnesses.
"Umm, I'm seven months pregnant. Are you sure this is safe?" I asked, when it was our turn.
"Yes, sure," replied our guide, who have (without a doubt) brought many heavily pregnant women down here.
Against my better judgement, I took my place on the slide, held onto my mother-in-law like a koala (the only time I've done so) and we pushed off, legs akimbo,
Our adventure didn't stop there. I mean, ultimately it was the salt that we came for, and it was everywhere. It was on the walls, in the droplets of brine that dripped from the ceiling, sticking to our clothes and skin. In the hour-long tour, you learned how it is extracted and processed via a series of complex machinery. Mika was strangely well-behaved throughout the entire tour, but I had to stop him from licking his sticky salt-covered fingers every five minutes.
At the deepest point of the caves, the Mirror Lake rests, its reflection as shiny as glass. We took a barge across, our surroundings illuminated by ambient music and lighting.
It was a bit like the ET ride in Disneyland.
We eventually emerged into broad daylight — only to buy a ton of cooking salt from the salt shop(we would later find out that salt would taste the same whether it came from a tricked-out mine or someone's sweat glands).
Goodbye, liver.
While the alpine resort of Berchtesgaden contains hidden thrills 130 meters below sea level, the rest of its attractions can be found above ground. Just steps away from Austria and once a Nazi retreat (Hitler has a mountaintop chalet here), the picturesque enclave in Bavaria now serves as a retreat for picture Nazis.
We spent a wonderful three nights, Hotel Neuhausl Superior, a cozy alpine lodge with an indoor pool and a crackling fireplace, in case the weather turns dour. Breakfast and dinner was included because we were midway into our holiday and was thus getting lazier.
Unfortunately, the weather was spectacular and there was no excuse not to go out and explore Berchtesgaden's curiously underrated centerpiece — the emerald-hued Lake Konigsee — which stretches like a fingertip, hemmed in by dark blue mountains. Hitler often boated here. It is now known as one of Germany's deepest and cleanest lakes and, to preserve its pristine quality, only electric boats are allowed for crossings.
Getting tickets for one of these rides was simple enough; and we soon found ourselves gliding serenely for 35 minutes towards St. Bartholomä, a pilgrimage centre dominated by an onion-domed church. There is also a small playground and peaceful walking trails leading inland, through the woods and past small waterfalls.
Nearby, a rustic fisherman's pub doles out fresh — and presumably mercury-free — trout fished from the lake's waters.
For an all-encompassing view of the fjord-like lake, we went up to Mount Jenner or Jennerbahn via what could be the world's tiniest, most rickety-looking cable car I've ever seen. The ride up was terrifying.
But since it was German and not Malaysian engineering, we survived and were rewarded for our bravery with stupendous vistas.
You really can't go to Germany without heading to its highest peak, the Zugspitze (even the name Zugspitze — which cannot be said with a suitable amount of spittle-spewing — sounds intimidating). This fearsome mountain lies in the upscale ski resort of Garmisch-Partenkirchen, but you can access it either by lifts from Germany or Austria.
Expensive as Garmisch was supposed to be, we managed to find a really affordable two-bedroom accommodation at Apartment Sport-Quartier, with a balcony that opens out to the Olympic ski run. I can foresee myself breaking my neck (and many other bones) on this thing.
We ascended with a cable car because cable car rides are the bomb until a gust of wind blows past. Then the gondola starts rocking violently and you wish you had attended church two Sundays ago instead of slacking off at a dim sum restaurant. I'm happy to report, though, that the cable car looks a lot more secure than the previous one we were in.
There was not much of a view from the top because of the swirling mist; only a rocky terrain blanketed in snow, but it was not sparkling white like you see on the brochures but a slushy grey from the footprints of all those who came before us.
Uh so, instead of making snow angels, I had to be contented with sledding. At seven months pregnant.
And you know, I can sled, I can slide, I can do all the shit that most women steer clear from when they've got a bun in the oven, but I draw the line at climbing to the top of the gipfel (summit), where a golden cross is planted no doubt for the many climbers who have perished by slipping to their deaths here.
Actually, I'm just guessing.
Because it's freezing and the only way up is to scale the metal ladder with your bare hands. Only X-men and exceedingly drunk people can accomplish an extraordinary feat like this.
And whadayya know, I was right: there they were, in their full lederhosen glory, the proud and the victorious stood beating their hairy chests at the summit. You don't bust out that lederhosen unless you're pissed. They are drunk as a skunk, alright.
And then le hubby says, "I'm going. Wait for me."
I was like dude, don't make me retrieve your limbs. But inspired by the obnoxious lederhosen-clad specimens, he went. And he made it.
I think I may have married an X-man.
Hotel Neuhausl Superior, Berchtesgaden Cozy, family-run alpine lodge equipped with a spa and swimming pool for adults and a big playground for kids. Set in a peaceful village a good distance from town, but price is inclusive of a generous breakfast and dinner. Your own transport is needed. $$$
Apartment Sport-Quartier, Garmisch-Partenkirchen Affordable chalet-type apartments in an expensive ski resort town. Modern and relatively new furnishings but basic, so don't expect toiletries or luxe bedding here. $
- If you're pressed for time and can pick only one Bavarian ski resort, skip Garmisch-Partenkirchen and head to Berchtesgaden instead. Its far more scenic and has two very different attractions: the salt mines and Lake Konigsee.
- The tallest point in Germany, the Zugspitze, can be accessed either from Austria and Germany (check Google maps). Entry fees in Austria are supposedly lower and grants you access to the same footpaths if you had come from Germany. If taking the German approach like us however, you need to choose your mode of transport up and down the mountain: by cable car or cog train, or both. We took a cable car up and a train down, and preferred the former. The train ride takes longer and half of the tip happens in dark tunnels deep in the mountains.
- The Zugspitze is glorious on a fine day, but it's often wet and foggy up in the mountains. If you're in Garmisch, be sure to keep yourself updated with the weather forecast. If the weather doesn't look promising, it's best to shelve your plans and do the equally delightful Partnach Gorge instead.

Silicone Rubber Uses in Oil and Gas
The oil and gas industry are vital to many industries and is a critical concern for many nations. It is the raw material for many chemical products, including solvents, pharmaceuticals, pesticides, fertilizers, synthetic fragrances, and plastics. Silicone rubber is important to the industry because of its unique properties. The fact that it doesn't have to be replaced for years is another benefit. Silicone rubber reduces the amount of maintenance needed for the oil and gas machinery.
Silicone rubber has many appealing properties and features that make it perfect for the oil and gas industry. Its extreme temperature and environmental resistance make it great for oil and gas construction. These features cause increased efficiency, quality, and reliability.
The level of quality from health and safety equipment to maintenance and repairs must be of the highest order to ensure failure is reduced to a minimum. Silicone rubber provides many appealing properties together with durable, highly resistant and flexible features. The lifetime of the pipeline is increased with the inert properties and environmental resistance to UV and Ozone of silicone rubber. These properties significantly reduce the risk of failure.
It's ability to withstand a wide range of temperatures while maintaining its stability makes it an ideal solution for cooler environments as well as warmer climates within the oil and gas industry. Silicone gaskets provide cushioning between the metal support bracket and pipeline, avoiding metal-on-metal contact. This reduces vibration and the risk of damage if the pipeline moves.
Although silicone can withstand high heat, it also has excellent thermal insulation properties. Used to insulate pipelines, silicone sponge ensures controlled temperatures are maintained when running through cold environments. This, together with its ability to withstand a wide variety of temperature extremes, makes silicone rubber the ideal choice when it comes to solutions for the oil and gas industry.

As a short disclaimer before you read the rest of the article. Since Sunday I've become aware of some horrendous stories about the back of the pack. Apart from my XS t-shirt I didn't experience a lot of what has been shared. On Sunday I saw no sweeper vehicle, but as I write below I've chosen not to focus on the issues. This isn't through lack of caring – more a case of not wanting people to forget the reason they started this. They say before a marathon you're racing yourself and I think even after the marathon it's important to keep in mind. I will be putting a post together on those issues in the coming days.
I am a London Marathon 2019 finisher….
How cool is that???!
The London Marathon is one of the world's most famed marathons, through the streets of the capital about 40,000 people take to the streets ton conquer the dreaded 26.2 miles. On Sunday I completed the long long…longgggggg trek through London in a snails pace – but equally perfectly fab pace of 7 hours 12. I completed the first half pretty much on track for 6 hrs 15 but various reasons meant I fell a little off the pace.
They say every marathon has a journey – and I reckon mine began back in 2016 when I did my first half marathon in my first year at uni. Back then I was 2, maybe 3 stone heavier – with a ridiculous obsession for chocolate. I'd just come out of school which was a total mixed bag – not bad but by no means an incredible experience! Back then, it was all a matter of the simple act of doing something not many people would have assumed to be possible. At the time, 4/5 years post spinal fusion (read about that here!) – it was about proving to the doubters that hey, I could do stuff too!
Then if you fast forward to January this year somehow it came around to training for the London Marathon! – of course that has 5 half marathons, a 10 mile and 10k in between! Early mornings – going from Canterbury to Whitstable, along the seafront and back happened quite a few times. I made social decisions, at times, based on whatever my training plan said for the following day. I've been able to walk into actual real supermarkets without supplementing everything with chocolate – anddddd even after the marathon I'm still doing that! I AM BORED STIFF OF OATS – but that's another story! I've spent a grand total of 63 hours and 33 minutes running this year – it's only the 1st May! I've gotten through the autobiographies of Mo Farah, Gary Barlow, the Spice Girl's Mel B, Bryony Gordon's 4 books, Adam, Hills, John McEnroe and "Trust Me, I'm a (Junior) doctor" by Max Pemberton. I can only thank the authors of those audible books for their entertainment!!!
Essentially – the London Marathon has revolutionised me. I'm confident in the fact it doesn't have to be quick, and slow IS fine. I look at these photos and I'm amazed at the fact I actually look like I'm meant to be there and haven't just randomly arrived in London to see what the heck's happening!
The marathon is so much more than the day itself. I might have significant bruises on my knees, the worst blisters on my feet but I got there. I RAN THE LONDON MARATHON. If you came to support on Sunday – from the streets of Greenwich to the crowds on Tower Bridge its a huge showing on the best of humanity. The kids you high 5, to the sweets given out on course, the music, the cheers and encouragement.
London, you were incredible!
Of course this was all for two amazing charities, The Youth Sport Trust and Make a Wish UK. You can still donate here: https://claire-nicholson.com/2019/05/01/i-did-it-and-some-thoughts/

I swear to you, Deb from Smitten Kitchen and I have the same taste buds. She posts things on her blog and I MUST make them. Preferably the same day. She and I have a taste for salted caramel. I love salt. And sweets. So salted caramel is perfect. Turns out that butterscotch is salted caramel that isn't cooked as long as the candy type of caramel. It is super easy.
It is delicious. I can imagine it being drizzled over so many different things besides just ice cream, but vanilla ice cream is perfect to showcase the delicious butterscotch flavor. Bread pudding? Angel food cake? Brownies? The options are endless.
Really, how do you go wrong with butter, cream, sugars, vanilla and salt? The answer is, you don't! Well, actually, I added a pinch too much salt, but, um, I kinda liked it that way. My salty batch aside, this is so easy! If you like butterscotch, you must try this! Maybe make some vanilla bean ice cream, hot chocolate fudge, marshmallows and crumble some toffee over top for a sundae party? Sounds good to me!

Host institution: Eindhoven University of Technology (TU/e – PMP)
Supervisor: Richard Engeln
Start date: September 2019
Gross salary: ~27 000 € /year (may vary according to institution).
Title: Investigating methods to vibrationally excite CO2 with plasma
The panacea for efficient CO2 dissociation is vibrational excitation of CO2, preferentially through the a-symmetric stretch vibration, the ν3. Over the past few years, quite some groups have been trying several plasma routes to efficiently pump CO2-molecules into vibrational states. The main driver of this research is the idea that if efficient dissociation of CO2 is possible, new routes to convert this greenhouse gas into a so-called solar fuel would open up. Triggered by the research efforts on CO2 lasers, we will explore the possibilities of admixing nitrogen to the CO2 plasma to enhance the dissociation efficiency. The aim is to study the plasma chemistry by applying laser-based diagnostic techniques to different CO2-N2 plasmas (TU/e) in parallel with a modeling effort (Lisbon). The diagnostic techniques can be used to determine the absolute densities of molecular species, like CO2, CO and O2, and atomic species like O and N, at high spatial and temporal resolution. The model predictions can be compared with these measurements and used to interpret and understand the discharge. When a firm basis of the plasma chemistry has been established, other phenomena may be investigated, such as the effects on the conversion of CO2 of trace amounts of water and helium, or of different surfaces of catalysts developed in the consortium
Links with other ESRs: Comparison with modeling results from ESR 2-4, comparison of efficiency obtained without N2 in other ESRs, use of CO2/N2 plasma in contact with catalyst developed in ESRs 6-10
Expected Results:
- Determining the densities of atomic and molecular species in the CO2/N2 plasma
- Understanding the importance of the presence of atomic and molecular species in the CO2/N2 plasma on the vibrational excitation
- Understanding if and how the addition of N2 to a pure CO2 plasma affects the vibrational excitation in CO2
- Firm basis for a comparison between the plasma-chemistry-model and experiment.
Co-supervisor: Vasco Guerra (IST – IPFN), 18 months Coupling of CO2 vibrational kinetics with N2 vibrational kinetics will be done at IST-IPFN
Industrial partner: AFS, Florian Brehmer, possibility and safety constraints of high power sources (1.5 months)

Endowment Value: $776 million (June 2018)
The University of New Hampshire is a public research university with its main campus in Durham, New Hampshire. It has a student body of approximately 15,000 across its six campuses. The UNH Foundation manages the endowment.
UNH considers sustainability to be a "university-wide endeavor" and a core value underpinning all university academics, research, and operations. UNH has received a perfect score on the Princeton Review's Green College Honor Roll and as of 2019, is one of only four universities to have received a Platinum STARS rating from the Association for the Advancement of Sustainability in Higher Education (AASHE), which measures sustainability leadership in operations, academics, and investments.
The University's commitment to sustainability, largely thanks to conversations sparked by students, is now being increasingly integrated into its endowment investment practices. Since 2017, the UNH Committee on Investor Responsibility (CIR) with its membership including students, faculty, alumni, endowment stakeholders, and external advisors, has helped support the Foundation in sustainable, socially responsible investment practices and policies through actions such as:
UNHF's investment policy takes a multi-pronged approach, including positive and negative screening, full ESG integration into financial analysis, and active ownership through shareholder engagement opportunities. Furthermore, ESG factors are also strongly considered in manager selection and monitoring process is a responsibility shared by the investment committee, Foundation staff and our investment consultants. As a signatory of the United Nations Principles for Responsible Investment, much of the Foundation's sustainable investment commitments are guided by those principles.
UNHF currently has an environmental, social and governance (ESG) endowment pool, which was created in 2015. The initial $1 million seed funding has grown to approximately $40 million as of March 2019. In 2017, the Foundation also invested $3 million into the NH Community Loan Fund as a component of the fixed income segment of the main pool. NHCLF is the Foundation's first direct impact investment with a purpose to make affordable financing options available to economically disadvantaged individuals and communities in New Hampshire.

Loyola Marymount University is a private research university located in Los Angeles, California. The LMU Board of Trustees' Endowment Committee manages its endowment.
In July of 2017, LMU became a signatory of the United Nations-supported Principles for Responsible Investment. The agreement is the result of a two-year exploration of responsible investing on campus, which included active engagement among trustees and administrators, student groups, and the university's Jesuit community. LMU is the first Jesuit Catholic university to become a signatory in the United States.
"LMU continues to be a vanguard of environmental responsibility and sustainability in higher education, and we are proud to uphold the Principles for Responsible Investment," said President Timothy Law Snyder, Ph.D. "We prepare our students to thrive as thought leaders and global citizens to create a better planet for those here and for those to come. Ever mindful of LMU's mission to provide a whole-person approach to our education, we seek to catalyze education, innovation, and stewardship initiatives that benefit humankind. We lead by example, and we hope that our partnership with PRI will inspire other institutions to incorporate environmental and social decision-making into their investments."
As of Spring 2019, LMU's responsible investing advisory committee (RIAC), formed in November 2017, finalized a Responsible Investment Policy and the University proactively invests in various types of clean and sustainable energy, both in its endowment and with respect to its campus.

Carleton College is a private college, located in Northfield, Minnesota. The Carleton Responsible Investment Committee (CRIC) was established in 2005 and is comprised of students, staff, and faculty. The primary purpose of the CRIC is to make recommendations about the management of the endowment to the Board of Trustees that embody Carleton's values. For example, within the past three years, The Committee has supported multiple shareholder resolutions that strengthened environmental, social and governance policies of companies within its investment portfolio.
In addition, in lieu of growing student interest and mobilization around fossil fuel divestment, students from the CRIC organized a student-led town hall discussion on the pros and cons of divestment in the fossil fuel industry
According to the most recent STARS Report, "while Carleton does not have a sustainable investment policy, the College aims to invest with managers whose standards of propriety, fairness, and ethical integrity align with those of the College. The College tries to select managers that will generate superior returns, but not at all costs, and make investments in a responsible manner that takes into account societal impacts." The College also reports that a percentage of it's endowment portfolio is invested in sustainable industries such as renewable energy and sustainable forestry.

Columbia University is a private institution located in New York City. The Columbia Investment Management Company (CIMC) manages the University's endowment. Columbia established the Advisory Committee on Socially Responsible Investing (ASCRI) as a permanent addition to the University in March 2000. The Committee's purpose is to advise the University Trustees on ethical and social issues that arise in the management of the investments in the University's endowment. To ensure that the Committee is broadly representative of the University community, its twelve voting members are drawn in equal proportion from students, faculty, and alumni of the University.
The ACSRI maintains clear and comprehensive guidelines for the endowment's socially responsible investment proxy voting that includes positions on a variety of issues including the environment. According to The University's most recent STARS report, Columbia currently performs negative screenings for tobacco producers/manufacturers, private prison operators, companies deriving more than 35% of their revenue in thermal coal production, and those implicated in human rights abuses. Like most Ivy League Universities, Columbia has considered various student initiated proposals to divest from all fossil fuels, the most recent being in 2012, but has yet to adopt explicit policies.
In addition to various sustainability initiatives across campus and operations, Columbia University houses the Columbia Center on Sustainable Investment (CCSI), which is a joint center of Columbia Law School and the Earth Institute at Columbia University, and the only university-based applied research center and forum dedicated to the study, practice and discussion of sustainable international investment.

Chatham University has an enrollment of over 2,200 students and over 60 undergraduate and graduate programs in four areas of excellence: sustainability; health & lab sciences; business & communication; and the arts & humanities. All undergraduates, save for those in the nursing program, are required to take a course on sustainability.
Currently, Chatham is among the five higher education institutions out of Pennsylvania's 164 colleges and universities to formally adopt and apply ESG practices as part of their investment strategy. The University's sustainable investment policy outlines key guiding principles that include reducing fossil fuel investments, advocating against corporations that deny climate change, and favoring investments that have positive environmental impacts, promote sustainability and support positive local community development. More than 13 percent of Chatham's investment pool is in positive sustainable investments.
With regards to Chatham University's efforts to divest its endowment funds from fossil fuels, administration has worked closely with students on the Student Investment Team (SIT) and committee on investor responsibility to assess they University's exposure to fossil fuels and draft recommendations towards sustainable investing. In the Spring of 2017, the investment committee of the Board of Trustees voted to approve two new investment opportunities that are specifically aimed at excluding fossil fuels and supporting sustainable energy. Chatham's Senior Vice President of Finance, Walt Fowler, said reducing the university's support of fossil fuel companies is in line with its goal of pursuing sustainability in every part of its operations. "It's important to us ethically, because we believe the world needs to reduce their use of fossil fuels," Fowler said. At the end of this year, the university will replace a hedge fund with a private equity fund focused exclusively on supporting wind power. It will also swap investment in a standard equity fund, which includes fossil fuel companies, for a BNY Mellon fund that is filtered specifically for green companies but matches the performance of the current fund.

The University of British Columbia (UBC) is a global center for research and teaching with a student body of around 60,000 located in British Columbia, Canada. The market value of the Endowment Fund directly managed by UBC Investment Management Trust Inc. (IMANT) and is overseen by the Board of Governors.
In 2013, UBC adopted its Responsible Investment Policy to direct UBC to consider environmental, social and governance ("ESG") factors to make more informed investment decisions for the UBC Endowment. In 2014 through 2015, The Board carefully considered a student and faculty proposal for divestment and a detailed third-party analysis by Koskie Minsky, an external law firm with expertise on responsible investment.
Although The Board did not approve the proposal, it did allocate $10 million to establish the Sustainable Future Pool as a far for donors especially concerned about climate change more choice when donating to UBC. This fund specifically aims to lower carbon emissions and excludes fossil fuels. In April of 2019, April 18, the Board voted to approve an additional $25 million contribution to the Sustainable Futures Pool over the next three years, bringing the total contributed to the pool to $50 million by 2022
UBC Vancouver also has a Sustainability Fund, established in 2011 with $1 million in seed funding, for projects that help the University achieve its sustainability goals through reducing campus energy and water consumption, reducing operational waste generation, increasing operational waste diversion from landfill and increasing the use of alternative energy and alternative transportation.

The IIP established an investment policy that would consider proposals submitted by any student, alum or faculty for divestment from entities that contribute to activities that "shock the conscience". Such parameters include instances of human suffering, natural calamity and injury and Oberlin currently conducts 100% negative screening within its portfolio based on these parameters.

Villanova University is a private research Roman Catholic university located in Radnor Township, Pennsylvania. Founded by the Order of Saint Augustine in 1842, VU is the oldest Catholic university in the Commonwealth of Pennsylvania. It has a student body of approximately 6,800 students.
In 2007, Father Donohue signed the American College & University Presidents' Climate Commitment (ACUPCC), vowing that Villanova would achieve carbon neutrality by 2050. To achieve this, Villanova will invest in improving campus infrastructure efficiency, as well as purchase carbon offsets and renewable energy for the energy required to run campus operations. In April 2014, Father Peter signed the St. Francis Pledge, committing the University to protect God's Creation and advocate on behalf of people in poverty who face the hardest impacts of global climate change.
In January 2019, over 200 students and faculty held a town hall meeting to discuss the issue of climate change. Proposals at the meeting called upon the administration to take stronger initiatives including hiring new personnel, both in faculty and operations, to focus on climate change, moving to being carbon neutral by 2030 instead of 2050, creating a new Center for Sustainability and divesting any fossil fuel investments.
Villanova has a Committee on Social Responsibility Proxy Votes that is comprised of faculty, student, and staff representatives. It conducts its activities in accordance with the investment guidelines issued by the US Conference of Catholic Bishops. It was established in order to fulfill Villanova's investment policies that require exercising its rights as a shareholder to vote proxies in a socially responsible manner.
Villanova's School of Business is home to the first socially responsible student managed fund in the country which invests in socially responsible mutual funds with positive screens.
