But in parts of the United States where oil is a significant part of the economy, divestment isn’t discussed. Divestment advocates in Texas have made little progress convincing the state s Permanent University Fund which owns mineral rights on more than two million acres of land to part ways with oil. Jim Johnsen, the former president of the University of Alaska system, said he can’t remember ever being asked by students or employees about divestment, despite the university’s strong ties to the oil industry. Two members of the University of Alaska system s Board of Trustees have experience working in the fossil fuel sector, and parts of the university system s revenue can be traced back to oil and gas.
Bye-Bye Beinart.
In October 2020, the
New York Timespromoted Peter Beinart to “contributing opinion writer” after Beinart renounced Zionism. Now, not even seven months later, the

“A smaller roster of regular contributors will allow space for even more outside views,” a note from
Times opinion editor Kathleen Kingsbury said.
Beinart did not immediately reply to an email from the
Algemeiner seeking comment.
