1 University of Wisconsin, Madison
(4); (24,844); $3,032; 94/6; 29%
Borrowing a page from campus anti-apartheid protesters of the
1980s, Madison students continued their campaign against
human rights abuses by urging the university to divest from
companies doing business with Burma. In 1995 they launched
the Internet-based Free Burma Coalition, and last spring they
helped convince the university to unload $239,000 worth of
stock in Texaco, which has business ties to Burma.
