New resource alert! We researched over 600 board members at 20 colleges and universities to understand the influence of corporations.

We found that across all industries, board members in the finance sector dominate colleges and universities. Moreover, a whopping one third of these connections to the financial sector were to firms bankrolling, insuring, and investing in fossil fuel corporations - raising huge questions about the agenda of those in power over our academic institutions.

We’ve published our findings in a new [report]([link removed]), CorpU: Researching Corporate Influence on College and University Boards, as well as an accompanying [list in LittleSis]([link removed]) where you can explore relationships between corporations and board members, and a [data table]([link removed]).

If you head on over to the the [list in LittleSis]([link removed]) and click on the “Interlocks” tab, you can see which corporations have the highest number of board members in common. Not surprisingly, banking behemoth and fossil financier, Goldman Sachs, tops the list. Have additional information to add about board members? Add your own research to the [LittleSis database]([link removed])!

We hope this report can help campus organizers and activists take on university power and gain a better understanding of the presence and influence of corporate power on their campuses.
