Activist investors
I have been asked by a finance professor to create a list of every stock that has increased its dividend in response to activist investors. Any suggestions about how I could go about creating something like this? Capital IQ seems like the logical choice, but is not something I have access to. Any insight would be greatly appreciated.

You could read every 13D
You could read every 13D ever filed, but I don't think companies say they are going to raise their dividend because of an activist nor do activist generally specify that they want an increased dividend. In 13D filings the activist usually just demands for the company to explore strategic alternatives to realize shareholder value in the form of a special dividend, sale, divestiture, share buyback etc...

Lexis Nexus has gotten me part way there, but I'm really trying to find ways to get a complete list.
