The Endowment Institute gives Wake Forest University a big fat overall 'D' for sustainability. The report scores universities based on administration, climate change and energy, food and recycling, green building, investment priorities.Interestingly enough, the report cites the Student Environmental Action Coalition as the "strongest force for sustainability on campus." If this is true, the university's sustainable outlook is bleak. When I was a student, SEAC had weak influence and minimal presence on campus. I wouldn't exactly count holding an annual 'Earth Day' fest on Davis Field with free, university-purchased beer a "strong force" for sustainability.
