"Our union was not going to stand by and watch our pension dollars support these terrible corporations, and we’re pleased to see that CalPERS’ investment analysts have come to the conclusion, Margarita Berta-Ávila, a professor at California State University who relies on CalPERS for her retirement and associate vice president of the California Faculty Association said in a statement. CFA, which represents some 28,000 workers of the California State University system, has bee...n a part of a multi-month long-campaign calling for CalPERS to divest of its private prison interests. Berta-Ávila was deeply disturbed after discovering that her pension manager was invested in private prisons at a time when many university students across the state are immigrants or have family members that may have experienced dealing with U.S. Border Control. "I got very upset because I realized I was complicit," Berta-Ávila said. "How can we look at our students face-to-face knowing that this is how our pensions are being utilized? That was not something we wanted to be a part of and perpetuate."
