The New School is a beacon of higher education thanks to the labor of its faculty & staff.

Last week, Comptroller Lander recommended NYC’s pension funds drop BlackRock + 2 other public asset managers due to inadequate decarbonization plans.
 
After evaluating the pension systems’ 49 managers, only 3 failed to submit plans with the seriousness we expect.
