Conference notes:

1. The attempts of students over the years to influence their institutions to stop investing in the arms trade, and in organisations which are involved in the arms trade, international crime and sweatshop labour.
2. That millions of pounds per year are invested in ethically poor companies by FE and HE institutions, which ignore the will of students and cause suffering around the world.

Conference believes:

1. That a campaign in campuses across the country on the issue of ethical investment would immediately raise this issue into the limelight, shaming some institutions, and giving positive publicity to those already practicing effective ethical investment.
2. That by creating laws prohibiting investment in ethically unsound companies, the government could dissolve the problem of the market disadvantage that would at first be experienced by FE and HE institutions practicing ethical investment.

Conference resolves:

1. To immediately campaign on ethical investments in the FE/HE sector.
