Use of database (ethVest) for shareholder resolutions to prepare report for Board of Trustees (due mid-winter)
- Lists all shareholders’ resolutions → search to find companies we have voting rights in
- ⅓ of endowment in holdings we can vote on
- Will divide shares alphabetically among members to research resolutions
- Search by ticker and year (2018) to find resolutions
- See if it fits in preapproval category
- If it does not, read explanation and do further research if needed to form an opinion of whether or not to vote for resolution
- Initial analysis over winter break to help committee decide how to vote based off of published Carleton values (moral or financial)
- Question of whether or not Carleton should propose resolutions
- Difficulty with timeline
Survey on campus (student, faculty, and staff) opinion about committee
- Part of Statistical Consulting class (runs both winter and spring)
- Should we use the same questions as last time?
- In the spring when timeline is less full as traditionally done (every two years)
- Need to get started so that it is available early spring → get ready during winter term after report is written
