In response to "Princeton: "No oil money!" BP: *shows large check* P: "Change of plans!" -- (link)" by TWuG

Paywall so I can't read the article, but Princeton's endowment is divesting from oil and gas companies. -- (edited)

So it's not like Princeton said "we won't take money from oil companies", just "we won't invest in them and profit from them".

Then the question becomes what's that research for? Is it research for, say, new ways to drill for oil? Or research into things that will reduce carbon emissions? Because I think you'd still want businesses - even oil companies - to fund research into those areas, and commercialise the technology that is developed.
