26 Campuses Get Top Grade in 2010 Sustainability Report Card
The Sustainable Endowments Institute today released its 2010 College Sustainability Report Card, a look at how several hundred colleges and universities are doing on a range of green criteria. Not surprisingly, the campuses that compiled the best cumulative score -- an A-minus -- tended to be the richest, even with recession-adjusted endowments. Among the 26 with that grade are Ivy League institutions, small liberal-arts colleges, and a handful of state flagships. But as Scott Carlson noted here in a report on last year's rankings, "sustainability is an inherently difficult thing to measure, and some sustainability advocates have worried that sustainability-rating systems may -- like the U.S. News & World Report rankings -- do more harm than good."
