focused on bringing the situation back
into people's minds so that the area can
be properly cleaned up," Justice for
Bhopal organizer Ryan Bodanyi said.
In addition to this, the group staged a
demonstration outside of Dow Chemi-
cal's headquarters in Midland, Michigan.
Because Dow acquired Union Car-
bide's stock in 2001, Justice for Bhopal,
Greenpeace and the worldwide activist
organization International Justice for
Bhopal said they feel Dow should be
held directly responsible for cleaning up
the Bhopal disaster site.

Dow spokesperson Jon Musser said
the transaction was not a merger where
one company would disappear.
"Union Carbide remains as a sub-
sidiary of Dow, with its own board of
directors, and its own assets and liabili-
ties," he said. "Stock ownership does not
equal responsibility for those who
acquired the stock. ... For example, if
you own stock in Ford, and someone
rolls over in a Ford and sues Ford, you
cannot be sued because you hold stock
in Ford, regardless of whether or not
negligence occurred."
Also, Musser contends that the issue
of responsibility ended in 1989 when
Union Carbide agreed to a settlement

with the Indian government for $470
million to compensate some of the vic-
tims of the disaster.
But Patel said she feels this gesture
was inadequate. "The settlement in 1989
was a huge failure on the part of the
Indian government," Patel said. "Union
Carbide violated their lease with the
Indian government that stated the land
that Union Carbide used for their chemi-
cal facility must be left exactly as it was
obtained."
Justice for Bhopal has requests for the
University as well.
"The University of Michigan has
divested from South African apartheid
and tobacco producers before, so we are
petitioning the University to also stop
accepting contributions from Dow
Chemical company until they take
responsibility for Bhopal," said Bodanyi.
Gary Krenz, special counsel to the
President, said in those two cases where
the University divested, it took a "partic-
ularly egregious offense that undermined
the University's name" along with wide-
spread campus support for divestment to
occur.
"[The faculty] has talked about the
Bhopal incident, but we are not taking
any action with it," Krenz said. "This
particular case itself is in question, and
Dow's relationship with it has not been
properly established."
When asked what the consequences
to Dow would be if it were to meet the
demands of opposition groups, Musser
said "I wouldn't speculate on that
because it won't ever happen."
