MIT Investments in Companies with Operations in South Africa We offer excellent salary and benefits. Please send resume to: As of March 23, 1990, MIT held investments in 13 US companies with oper- ations in South Africa, six of which are pharmaceutical companies. Eleven of Dr. H. Robert Horvitz, Biology Dept. 56-629, MIT, Cambridge, these companies are rated in Category I, and two are in Category IIA. One MA 02139. We are an company had 1.2 percent of its total sales attributable to South African activi- Equal Opportunity Employer. ty, the other twelve had less than one percent of their worldwide sales in South Africa. Over the years, using a consistent definition, the Institute's investments in companies with operations in South Africa have steadily decreased, primarily as a result of companies' ceasing operations there. The secubdtes of the 13 companies presently held by MIT have a value of $84 million, which is 5.4 percent of the total market value of the general investments as of March 23, 1990. Just over four years ago, on December 1, 1985, the corresponding figure was $168 million, or 18 percent of the general investments. The assertion by the Coalition Against Apartheid that MIT's-inveStments in companies doing business in South Africa. has grown is base&don a broader HOWARD HUGHES MEDICAL INSTITUTE definition of "doing business." That deiito'n includes 52 companies that have any of these involvements with South Africa: employees, licenses, distribution 'agreements, franchises, or outstanding loans. Even using the Coalition's own calculations and their broad definition, MIT's investments declined in the past year from $322 million to $289 million.
