Columbia Prison Divest
Columbia Prison Divest is a student activist group that wants Columbia to divest from private prisons. Current investments total $2 million, a drop in the bucket of Columbia's $9.2 billion endowment (as of 2015). Despite numerous campus demonstrations and unsuccessful petitions to the ACSRI,[1] they were granted a meeting with PrezBo after protesting his Freedom of Speech class.[2]
They were ultimately successful.[3]
