College Sustainability Report Card Released
CAMBRIDGE, MASS - (January 24, 2007) - The Sustainable Endowments Institute today released its College Sustainability Report Card, which grades 100 leading colleges by looking at campus greening practices and endowment policies. The Cambridge-based research institute announced today that the report's grade of "A-", the highest cumulative sustainability grade, was received by Harvard University, Stanford University, Dartmouth College, and Williams College. In addition, 26 schools received an average grade of "A-" or better upon assessing only campus operations. The College Sustainability Report Card takes into account 26 indicators, from green building initiatives to endowment investment policies, and uses an A to F letter grading system to evaluate performance. The study indicates that some leading schools are taking proactive steps on both campus and endowment sustainability initiatives. Other schools are shown to have a less consistent commitment.
