Maybe they could take a lead from Stanford Uni.

Stanford University has become the largest higher-ed endowment in the country to announce a divestment related to fossil fuels. From Stanford’s statement to the press, released after a Board of Trustees decision:
Stanford has a responsibility as a global citizen to promote sustainability for our planet, and we work intensively to do so through our research, our educational programs and our campus operations," said Stanford President John Hennessy. "The university's review has concluded that coal is one of the most carbon-intensive methods of energy generation and that other sources can be readily substituted for it. Moving away from coal in the investment context is a small, but constructive, step while work continues, at Stanford and elsewhere, to develop broadly viable sustainable energy solutions for the future."
