The Harvard Law Review, a prestigious student-run legal magazine, is unlikely to change its recent decision against divesting $100,000 of holdings in companies that do some of their business in South Africa, Review officials said recently.
"It will probably be discussed again, but unless someone changes their vote--which I think is unlikely--there will be no change in our position," said Scott L. Nealson '81, president of the Law Review.
In January, the six-member Board of Trustees for the Law Review decided to take no action on the investments.
The holdings in question make up about one-third of the Law Review's $300,000 endowment, which comes entirely from donations by former Law Review members.
The staff debated divesting the magazine's holdings last fall after a group of Law Review members circulated a petition. Seventy-one of the 91 students on the Review signed the petition, according to Nealson.
