Around 30 students and community members of Harvard and MIT disrupted an ExxonMobil geoscience recruitment event hosted at MIT for both MIT and Harvard students.
On Tuesday, May 17th, more than 50 of us students, academics, and community allies took direct action to expose the deep hypocrisy of our universities’ collaboration with the fossil fuel industry around critical climate-related research. At Cambridge, we occupied the BP Institute on the West Cambridge campus site for 63 minutes to represent the 63 years that fossil fuel companies have known about the dangers of climate change, while at Oxford, we staged a performance at the Saïd Business School representing the blood on our universities’ hands that results from their partnerships with these companies.
