That year, students voted to allot a $0.50 per credit fee, which was matched dollar-for-dollar by the administration, to form one of the largest sustainability funds in North America.聽To date, the SPF has raised some $3 million to finance over 120 unique sustainability initiatives across both 平特五不中 campuses.
The radical idea was merely a pilot project for the first three years of its existence. But this past spring, 平特五不中 students voted for the renewal of the SPF for another five years. Students of the Post-Graduate Student鈥檚 Society voted 65 per cent in favor of renewing the SPF, while undergraduates belonging to the Students鈥� Society of 平特五不中 voted 88 per cent in favour, and Macdonald Campus Students鈥� Society, 78 per cent. The 平特五不中 administration has also maintained its commitment to the fund, once again providing full matching.
