Examples of CIR actions during the previous three years:
Colorado College's CIR was implemented in the Spring of 2017. Since that time, they have gained access to funds designated for green/ethical investing. They have also drafted bylaws and guidelines for defining "green" and "socially responsible" investing. They hope to be actively investing and making trades by the end of the academic year.
