April 2024: Statement on USF’s investment policy

For more than a decade, some individuals have campaigned for USF to divest funds from companies with ties to Israel.  USF’s consistent position on this issue has been, and continues to be, that the university will not divest.

USF’s investments are guided by its mission, fiduciary responsibilities and state and federal laws.  USF does not select individual stocks or companies for investment.  USF will continue to make summary information about investments public, consistent with the university’s investment policy and legal requirements.
