one way that higher educational institutions can improve health

Dear Service-learning colleagues,

The University of Michigan Board of Regents has voted to sell its holdings
in tobacco manufacturing companies. The decision follows the conclusion  
reached by the Ad Hoc Advisory Committee on Tobacco Investments, a
committee of faculty, staff, students, alumni, and others. The
committee's recommendation urged the regents to "sell all of the school's
currently owned shares of stock (and not to purchase any new shares) in
companies that, either themselves or through their subsidiaries,
manufacture significant quantities of cigarettes or other tobacco
products."
