The Currier House Committee last night voted unanimously to endorse the petition of the Southern Africa Solidarity Committee (SASC) on divestiture.
The SASC proposals call for Harvard to divest itself of stocks in banks which loan money to South Africa and to support or initiate shareholder resolutions in all other corporations it holds stock in that do business in South Africa calling for those firms to withdraw their operations.
Currier is the fifth House to endorse the SASC proposals. Winthrop, Quincy, Lowell and Leverett Houses have all endorsed the SASC position so far.
