CU gets lower grade for sustainability

Carleton failed to live up to last year’s grade this year on an annual environmental sustainability report card.

Each year, the Sustainable Endowments Institute releases its College Sustainability Report Card, which ranks 300 colleges and universities in Canada and the United States based on nine criteria.  

This year, it gave Carleton an overall grade of C-plus, lower than its B-minus grade last year.  Carleton received grades of B or higher in five categories, but received two Cs and two Ds.
