Falling asleep during a meeting with climate activists, stalling on funding transparency, and alleging that the fossil fuel industry is actually on the cutting edge of climate action were surely a close second.

[The GW Hatchet @gwhatchet]

Interim University President Mark Wrighton said filling vacant administrative positions, establishing 14 endowed professorships and launching a scholarship-matching program were the most valuable moments of his 18-month tenure at GW

Thank you again @sunrisemvmtgwu for inviting us to your Fossil Free Festival. It was wonderful talking to students and community members about the real cause behind climate crisis — capitalism.

We look forward to working together to rebuilding the student movement in DC! 🚩✊

"Wrighton said he couldn’t recall a single incident during his time at GW where it would be necessary for GWPD officers to use a firearm."

The most highly policed city per capita in the US doesn't need more cops with guns. It doesn't add to safety - it just perpetuates violence.

We are pleased to announce the lineup of GW and local D.C. organizations participating in the second annual Fossil Free Festival on Sunday, April 23 in U-Yard 🌅

[ORCA GW @orcagwu]

3 years after one of our members was brutalized by GWPD, @GWtweets is making the decision to arm GWPD officers.

When bias in policing has caused the deaths of countless Black and brown individuals, we have to ask ourselves how long it will be until a GW student is killed.

[Coalition for a True School of Sustainability @CoalitionTrue]

Many people consider @Stanford to be a top-5 university in the US.

Guess what else we're top 5 in? Accepting fossil fuel money! Let's keep up the streak, @stanforddoerr!
