Among its concerns, parts keep flying off of its commercial planes, and (as of April 11th) the value of a share of its stock has declined from $257.28 to $173.36 since January 1st. However, one of the concerns that the leaders of Boeing will not be losing sleep over is the quixotic and nonbinding resolution passed by WashU’s Student Union (SU) for the university to divest from the embattled aerospace company.
