CFERE Public Comment Session

The issue? This recent report from Stanford’s Committee on Funding for Energy Research and Education (CFERE) suggests that fossil fuel funding will continue at the Doerr School of Sustainability. CFERE is discussing public feedback on this at their September 23 meeting. This is our chance to speak up and make sure our voices are heard loud and clear!
