During Academic year 2015-2016, KSC made the decision to provide sustainable and socially responsible investment options for its Keene Endowment Association, Keene State's affiliated foundation. KSC controls investments within KEA versus the investments controlled by the University of New Hampshire System of which KSC is one part. We do not report on USNH investments in this category.
