The foundation is considering hiring an investment manager or outsourced cio to help align its investment portfolio with its mission of expanding local access to music education.
The school will consider divesting its approximately $465 million endowment from companies and industries identified by its Advisory Committee on Investor Responsibility that are implicated in military and police violence in Gaza and the West Bank in the coming weeks.
The university will review and discuss the investment policy and asset allocation for its endowment later this year, including increasing its private market allocations.
The institution approved divesting its endowment from companies profiting from the war in Palestine earlier this month and will look to explore investments that proactively support humanitarian and entrepreneurial companies doing positive work in the region.
