Friend, 

After months of rigorous research, I am pleased to announce that our new report “The Regulatory Studies Center: A Stain on the George Washington University Name” is finally out! The report offers a detailed analysis of the RSC, its relationship with the fossil fuel industry, the content of RSC research, and the impact the center has had on federal regulations.

This report underscores the value of university research centers within the Koch network. The RSC plays a mediating role between the anarcho-capitalist deregulatory agenda and unbiased regulatory legitimacy. The RSC possesses a neutralizing power whereby known climate deniers such as Julian Morris or discredited statisticians such as Tony Cox gain academic credibility simply by attaching themselves to the GW name.

Koch’s academic funding methods work -- at the cost of our environment. The efforts of the RSC have translated to tangible victories for the Koch network. The RSC has played a central role in exponentially devaluating the social cost of carbon, the figure used for emissions regulations at the EPA. In addition, the RSC facilitated the development of an analytical statistics tool used by the oil industry to dismiss the link between air pollution and mortality. 

Please download the report, share it with friends, and help us bring attention to GW's role in perpetuating climate denial. 

In Solidarity,

Jake Lowe, GW Student Organizer

UnKoch My Campus is a project dedicated to disrupting corporate influence on campuses nationwide by equipping campus activists with education, skills, and ecosystems of solidarity. The Koch network is leveraging its donations to colleges and universities to bolster its corporate agenda to halt action on climate change, put hundreds of thousands of people in prison, deny millions of people healthcare, and strip rights and wages from workers globally. We're building a mass movement of young people who are dedicated to disrupting this harm.
