Hmmmm aka 87.5%

Last year I heard some kids at Bard were meeting to try to use our endowment's investment to draft a shareholder resolution to pressure a fast food company to use more environmentally safe practices. I thought this was a very stupid thing to do, so I went to the meeting. In no uncertain terms I told my contemporaries at Bard College that using our endowment to pressure McDonald's was a stupid idea that would not work.

I was wrong,

Good Job guys.
