Editor's note

A Feb. 23 article on Yale's decision to divest from Sudan misstated the goals of the student group Brother's Keeper. Furthermore, quotations attributed to Jeremy Golubcow-Teglasi '06 and David McIlroy '06, two of the group's officers, were erroneously taken out of context.

"Though the officers of Brother's Keeper have no objection to Yale's move in principle, we have not issued any sort of call for Princeton to follow suit," the officers said in a statement. "As a student-directed genocide studies program, Brother's Keeper specializes in educational programming. In keeping with that mandate, the organization has no plans to initiate a divestment movement at Princeton. But Brother's Keeper will gladly serve as a resource to other campus groups weighing the merits of such a campaign."

The group said it would welcome a "robust campus debate on Sudan divestment," which would be "fully consistent with the mission of our organization to help inform such a debate by compiling and analyzing data relevant to the pros and cons of campus divestment."

"If Brother's Keeper urges anything, it is that students read up on the question, take all relevant considerations into account and develop their own, well-informed response to Yale's decision," the officers said.

Also, the story left the impression that the University's two-year discussion period would begin only when the Resources Committee meets to consider divestment. The demonstration of sustained campus interest does not have to be measured solely from that point forward.
