The Oxford University Socially Responsible Investment Campaign today took a walking tour of the top University Arms Trade Investors to expose the millions of pounds of University money invested in Arms...
Outside St Johns - A College with Almost £2,000,000 in the 6 Biggest Arms Firms
The Banner Says it All
In the Shadow of Balliol's £592,532 Arms Trade Investment
Mass Support (plus a man on a bike)
Oxford University and its Colleges collectively invest more that £2bn! And virtually no University investors have any policies to make sure that money isn't in the Arms Trade.
Recent research by Campaign Against the Arms Trade and the Oxford University SRI Campaign has revealed over £5,000,000 of Arms Trade Investments - and thats shared amongst just a few of Oxfords Colleges. Many Colleges still refuse to reveal where their money is.
Today Oxford Students took to the streets for a 'Magical Mystery Walking Tour' of the top offenders - starting at St John's College (Over £1,891,191 in Arms), and moving on past Balliol (£592,532) and St Edmunds Hall (£627,243). The tour also made stops along the way at Colleges that refuse to reveal their investments to call for transparency.
