Hmm...
Aww... The Green Fee vote has been postponed. They made sure to "fix" it to be an increasing fee.
The projects supported by the fund could be proposed by students, faculty or staff or a combination of the three. Specific project requirements, including project goals and budgeting, would be determined by the group working on the project, Arons said.
Some said the open-ended requirements would encourage creative approaches to sustainability.
"There are a lot of ways to reduce the impact (on the environment)," said junior Patrick Ford, a conservation and resources studies major and one of the bill's authors. "We didn't want to limit student ideas." Isn't that just a long way of saying there isn't any plan for what to do with the money? How stereotypically "throw money at the problem" can you get? I guess this fits well with their "build a legacy" and "send a statement" rhetoric. If only their approach fit well with "help the environment" rhetoric.
