Associate Professor in Human Geography at the University of Oxford, Amber Murrey, said: "The Oxford Climate Justice Campaign has documented prolonged and alarming patterns of mutual support between the extractive industry and the University. It demands that we have open conversations about the ethics and socio-environmental consequences of fossil fuel extraction and should trigger action by University leadership." A spokesperson for ExxonMobil told Cherwell : "The ExxonMobil Foundation supported a range of highly regarded programmes at Oxford, from scholarships to help train future health leaders from developing countries, through a one-year Master of Science degree with a strong focus on global public health threats including malaria, HIV/AIDS and tuberculosis, to research devoted to encouraging the economic empowerment of women through entrepreneurship. These were longstanding, very public philanthropic programmes that provided and continue to provide considerable benefit in developing countries."
