The leaflet advertises a coming protest on Monday, May 9. The leaflet says the Stanford University Board of Trustees and the administration have ignored the strong support of the Stanford community for the University to vote its stocks in favor of U.S. corporate withdrawal from South Africa. The Stanford Committee for a Responsible Investment Policy calls on the Board of Trustees to meet the following demands: 1) that Stanford vote its 94,000 Ford Motor Company shares in favor of the stockholder resolution mandating Ford's withdrawal from South Africa; 2) that the Trustees abolish the Commission on Investment Responsibility and that a new commission with real power be created that represents all Stanford constituencies; 3) that a report be prepared by October 1, 1977 describing the costs and benefits which would result from Stanford's divestment of its shares in corporations operating in South Africa; and 4) that the Trustees meet with us before "dead week." • The Time to Act is Now • Why We Will Protect May 9th • We Have Met Their Criteria [Note on date: May 9 was on a Monday in 1977.]
