Roberts Ranks them Again:
This Time, the Greening of
Top Liberal Arts Colleges

The Roberts Environmental Center at CMC has done it again, this time grabbing the attention of the Chronicle of Higher Education with a new twist to its Pacific Sustainability Index: grading the "green" efforts of top liberal arts college, as reported on their Web sites.
The Chronicle of Higher Education wrote about the newest rankings in their Monday, March 1 issue online: http://chronicle.com/blogPost/Another-Sustainability-Rank/21528/.
The complete report from the Roberts Environmental Center, in PDF format, is also available on the Roberts Center Web site.
In case you read the results and wonder why CMC omitted itself from the competitionwhich basically examines the 50 top-rated liberal arts colleges and universities as ranked by U.S. News & World Report Roberts director Emil Morhardt says the reason is simple. "We didn't think it was right to score our own sustainability presence on the Web," he said. "We think that should be up to someone else, not us."
That said, CMC has been reporting its "green" efforts for at least two years online, through this gateway.
According to the Chronicle article by Scott Carlson, based on the Roberts rankings, the top five colleges in sustainability reporting are: Williams College, Bucknell University, and Amherst, Colorado, and Gettysburg colleges. The bottom five: Kenyon College, Centre College, United States Naval Academy, Scripps College, and Occidental College.
The article also highlights the fact CMC students did the research for and writing of the report.
