As of yesterday afternoon, eight faculty members and 180 students had signed an online petition at www.harvarddivest.com, calling on the University to sell its 72,000-share stake in PetroChina.
Five years later, Women Appealing for Change sought to force the clubs to accept female members by soliciting signatures for a petition to not go to final clubs for a year.
Professor of Psychology Patrick Cavanagh, the first faculty member to sign, said he had forwarded the petition to colleagues and expected more professors to join the effort.
While the petition garnered the support of over 100 students in less than 24 hours, only one professor and one Harvard staff member had signed as of last evening.
The staff member, Chip Robinson, a librarian at Widener and non-resident tutor in Leverett House, said he learned about the petition from the College Democrats list-serv.
