Georgia Southern University has recently approved a ‘green’ fee after students voted to pay $10 per semester to enhance environmental initiatives on campus.
74% of the 9,400 students who voted approved of the $400,000 that the fee would bring in annually, according to the Associated Press.
The Board of Regents is now scheduled to consider the fee.
Georgia State, however, has yet to approve a ‘green’ fee. The school is now in the process of approving a reallocation of funds for an Office of Sustainability from the Student Activity Fee after President Mark Becker decided to not entertain any new fees or fee increases this year.
