...based Investor Responsibility Research Center: Hampshire College (of $39,000), the University of Massachusetts (of $631,000), Ohio University (of $38,000), Michigan State (of $8.5 million), and the University of Wisconsin (of $11 million). Other colleges have chosen partial divestiture, or selling stock selectively in those companies that fail to observe the Sullivan principles, a set of guidelines established by the Rev. Leon Sullivan, a black civil rights activist and General Motors board member, which outline affirmative-action policies. Among them: Amherst ($1 million), Smith ($680,000), Columbia ($2.7 million), Boston University ($7 million), Brandeis ($350,000), Yale...

...than a tutorial--which sophomore and junior concentrators may take for one term in lieu of tutorial. In addition, the legislation mandates a student-Faculty committee in each department to oversee its tutorial program and recommend changes to the department's head tutor and chairman. If the department heads fail to respond the committee may appeal to Bowersock's office. Finally, Bowersock proposed that departments which lack a sufficient number of Faculty members to teach tutorials should consider hiring annual lecturers or teaching assistants whose sole responsibility would be to lead tutorials...
