February 14: Administration Announces Formal Review of Proxy Voting Policy During Spring Semester

Princeton University announced at today's Council of the Princeton University Community (CPUC) meeting that it is instituting a
formal review of its proxy voting policy.  This is a very significant
step towards PCAIR’s goal of having a proxy voting advisory committee at Princeton University to review social issues proxies and recommend to the board of trustees how to vote in an ethically acceptable manner.
      The Resources Committee, a sub-committee of the CPUC that is charged to deal with all socially responsible investment issues, will conduct the review and report back to the trustees at their May meeting.  This would not have happened had not PCAIR convinced the University, in the fall of 2004, that a review of the current policy was in order.
       It is now PCAIR's task to support the Resources Committee in its research, and to show them how the members of the University community, such as students, staff, faculty, and alumni, feel about these issues, which the Trustees have instructed the committee to consider in their deliberations.
