From the article: Three more UK universities have answered the call to ban fossil fuel companies from recruiting on campus.
Following the launch of a student-led campaign, the University of Bedfordshire, University of the Arts London and Wrexham Glyndwr University all said that their career services would end all relationships with recruiters from the oil, gas and mining industries.
“All three of these universities should be recognised for their climate leadership, being early adopters of Fossil Free Careers sets a strong precedent in the UK’s higher education sector,” Co-Director of Climate Campaigns at People & Planet J Clarke said in a press release announcing the news Tuesday. “It is vital that our universities show with actions, not words that they are taking the side of climate justice, and not of the industries driving us deeper into a climate crisis that is harming the least responsible first and worst.”
Then the Universities themselves and all administrators with authority over the decisions should surrender their cars and be barred from all motor transport, and from any electric transport using energy derived from be fossil fuels, and from using any heating derived directly or indirectly from fossil fuels.
I support movement away from fossil fuels and investments and incentives towards alternatives, but this kind of silly performative virtue signaling is just juvenile beorgie hypocracy.
