Local College Receives High Marks For Sustainability
By Shaun Tolson
Worcester's Clark University made the honor roll for its environmental and sustainability practices, according to an assessment of national colleges conducted by Cambridge-based Sustainable Endowments Institute.
The institute's annual "green report card," which analyzed more than 330 colleges across the country in many categories, gave Clark a B+ rating overall. The school received A's in five categories: climate change & energy, food & recycling, green building, shareholder engagement and investment priorities.
The other categories analyzed were: administration, transportation, student involvement, endowment transparency and investment priorities.
The average grade awarded was a C+ and only 26 schools ranked ahead of Clark.
