UD earns B+ on College Sustainability Report Card
The University of Dayton’s dedication to creating a greener campus has helped the school to improve a full letter grade on the 2010 College Sustainability Report Card.
UD earned a B+ on the third annual report card, released Wednesday, Oct. 7. The university’s overall grade tied for second among the 16 Ohio schools represented in the study.
The report card is an independent evaluation of campus and endowment activities at the colleges and universities with the 300 largest endowments in the U.S. and Canada. The profiled schools have combined holdings of more than $325 billion — approximately 95 percent of all higher education endowment assets, according to the Sustainable Endowments Institute.
Grading the schools involved assessing performance in nine categories: administration, climate change & energy, food & recycling, green building, transportation, student involvement, endowment transparency, shareholder engagement and investment priorities.
UD earned A’s in administration, endowment transparency and investment priorities. The school earned B’s in all other categories except shareholder engagement, where it received a C.
UD has embarked on a campaign to help reduce campus-wide energy use by 10 percent, or approximately $1 million, this academic year, according to university officials.
Miami University in Oxford was the only other Southwest Ohio college or university to be included in the report. Miami earned an overall C+, with A’s in climate change & energy, food & recycling and investment priorities; a C in endowment transparency; D’s in administration, green building and transportation; and an F in shareholder engagement.
Sixty-eight percent of 12,715 high school students applying to college, who were recently polled by the Princeton Review, said that they would value having information about a college’s commitment to the environment, according to the institute.
