Is this even intelligible? "Do you support the University of Illinois’ endowment removing investments in coal by the year 2017?”
@ryanjweber It's a coal divestiture campaign, yes? Makes sense to me.

@chrisgeidner Endowment acts as subject here, when it should be the university // The gerund phrase is weird to me. Should be “removal of." -
@ryanjweber I'm not so sure that's the case, although it could be. I read U of I to be an adjective. -
@chrisgeidner It acts as an adjective now, but an endowment can’t remove something. The University can. -
@ryanjweber Endowments often are run separate from universities themselves, so it didn't sound all that weird to me. -
@chrisgeidner The UI Foundation is part of the U here // Maybe not unintelligible, just not as straightforward as it could be, IMO.
