A coalition of "Stanford scientists invested in helping the Doerr School of Sustainability achieve its full potential as a beacon of research excellence that accelerates the energy transition, with the speed and scale necessary to avert catastrophe" are making recommendations for a "true" school of sustainability:



Summary of Coalition for a True School of Sustainability’s Recommendations To take effect immediately: review, identify and eliminate benefits to industry donors that present a direct conflict of interest.

Ban: For all research programs, ban sponsorship from any company, trade group, or other organization that engages in the following (see below for details on each criteria):

Does not provide a credible transition pathway

Obstructs climate policy

Plans to explore for further reserves of fossil fuels and supports the expansion of fossil fuel infrastructure beyond 2025/30

Establish a Third-Party Enforcement Board to oversee the dissociation process with industry partners on a case-by-case basis.

Disclose: strengthen existing disclosure requirements across the University, including by writing specific guidance for conflicts of interest involving the fossil fuel industry. More at https://www.truesustainabilityschool.com/big-oil-entanglements
