Summary:
The costs of divestment are equivalent to annual tuition increases (or equivalent reductions in tuition scholarships) of approximately $123 to $385 at a representative public university or $1,043 to $3,265 at a representative private university. Under similar assumptions, divestment equates to a reduction in monthly pension benefits of approximately five to seven percent for a typical pensioner.
