Now that UofT has committed to fossil fuel divestment, there's no reasonable excuse for Vic not to follow suit. A refusal to divest means a refusal to acknowledge the realities of the environmental, social, and bodily harms that fossil fuels corporations continue to commit, and a refusal to acknowledge the harsh realities of the climate crisis more generally. The fossil fuel industry has no place in our society and it's the responsibility of powerful institutions, like universities, to take part in the removal of their social license to operate.
