Established in 1978 as the Coalition for Responsible Investment (CRI) or the Committee on Social Responsibility in Investment (SARI) this joint committee of students and trustees was charged with monitoring Carleton’s investments and making recommendations to keep them in line with the values of the school. Rechartered in 1990 as the Anti-Apartheid Committee (AAC), the group pivoted to focus on all aspects of anti-apartheid work beyond just divestment. The group was not active long, with apartheid ending with the formation of a democratic government in South Africa in 1994.  The Carleton Responsible Investment Committee was reactivated in the early 2000s with a renewed focus on institutional investments relating to climate change and social issues.
