BOSTON – The University of Massachusetts became the first major public university system in America to completely divest fossil fuel-related investments, a decision that was received with glee by environmental activists on campus.
"WE WON!!!!!" proudly declared a Facebook post from the driving force behind the movement urging the action, Divest UMass, immediately after the vote that charted the course. The activists crowed that decision "was a direct result of the immense power and support of student and community organizing."
WASHINGTON (AP) — Donald Trump has provisionally accepted Bernie Sanders' proposal to debate, but the billionaire is setting a high price for participating. His condition: The hosting TV network would have to put up millions of dollars for charity.
Representatives for Fox News, ABC News and CBS News say the networks are interested in hosting such a showdown but would not comment on whether they'd be willing to put up the $10 million Trump is demanding for women's health causes. "We're always interested in more opportunities to hear from the candidates," said ABC spokeswoman Julie Townsend.
