Paul Brest, former dean of Stanford Law School, was asked by Stanford President Marc Tessier-Lavigne to co-chair a university-wide committee to review future engagement or disengagement with fossil fuel energy companies. Jenny Martinez, Dean and Richard E. Lang Professor of Law, and Michelle Wilde Anderson, Larry Kramer Professor of Law, also are serving on the committee, which is charged with assessing current funding from fossil fuel companies, reviewing the approach of other universities, and providing pros and cons to the current approach of accepting these funds and of alternative approaches. The group is expected to consider a variety of approaches to better understand diverse viewpoints and concerns across the campus and to engage the Stanford community in thoughtful discourse. SL
