Press Pass: Foundation fundraising provides mixed message

WBFO-FM 88.7 | By Jay Moran
Published December 19, 2017 at 4:54 AM EST

With assets in excess of $1.1 billion, the UB Foundation has enjoyed great success raising funds in support of the activities at the University at Buffalo. However, a foundation investment in a fund that profits from natural gas and oil industries is raising controversy in some university sectors. As Charlotte Keith of Investigative Post discusses on WBFO's Press Pass, some see the investment as a contradiction to the university's values on sustainability.
