Michigan State University got a respectable B grade for its efforts to implement more sustainable management practices, including areas of environmental management and recycling.
According to excerpts from the article:
The
Sustainable Endowments Institute’s 2010 college sustainability report card was released Oct. 7 and gave letter grades to schools across the country based on their campus sustainability.
MSU received a B, something university officials said adequately reflects MSU.
Jennifer Sowa, project coordinator in the Office of the Vice President for Finance and Operations, said she anticipates the grade improving in the future, but is not disheartened by the B.
“A B is certainly not a bad grade,” she said. “It does reflect where we are.”
MSU’s grade was on par with other Big Ten schools. The University of Minnesota received an A-, one of the highest grades in the Big Ten, and University of Iowa received a C, which was one of the lowest.
Schools were graded based on various areas of campus sustainability efforts, such as student involvement, administration and food and recycling.
