Editor's note: This is an updated staff editorial. The original, published Feb. 4, inaccurately implied that the pending legislation regarding the Clean Energy Revolving Fund was to create the fund, as opposed to simply clarify the rules regarding its financing. This is a serious error and the editorial staff at The Eagle believes it warrants an updated staff editorial, in addition to the usual clarification and corrections. The Eagle regrets this error.

I have gone abroad this semester, and can’t usually keep abreast of campus affairs. But, one astounding thing which did manage to flash across my radar was a recent bill passed by the Undergraduate Senate on Jan. 24th. Entitled “A Bill to Express Support for an Appropriate Clean Energy Revolving Fund,” this bill actually served to undermine the long-term effectiveness of the Clean Energy Revolving Fund (CERF) because it precludes even a discussion of green fees or student government contributions down the line. CERF was designed to bring clean energy to this university in order to reduce our environmental impact, and in doing so, to realize the vision of AU as a leading institution for sustainability. This exact goal is articulated in the American College and University Presidents’ Climate Commitment to which we became party in 2007 thanks to the hard work of EcoSense and forward thinking vision of our President Neil Kerwin. Fulfillment of the ACUPCC is further enshrined in the Strategic Plan adopted the following year. This same principle is echoed all around campus with signs boasting that The American Dream is Green. Ultimately, this act violates our university’s core ethos – “Ideas into Action. Action into Service.” In order to make our university the leading institution which it aspires to be, we need a strong CERF. For this reason, I applaud SG President MacCracken’s veto of the bill. I further applaud the Undergraduate Senate for having ears and eyes open enough to realize their folly in passing the legislation last week, and deciding to uphold SG President Andy MacCracken’s veto in yesterday’s session. Clean energy is the way of the future. A strong, effective CERF will make AU a leader in realizing that future.

When it comes to university housing, it seems rising upperclassmen has pulled the short straw. In order to cope with the drastic shortage of on-campus housing, AU Housing and Dining Programs have decided to institute an exhaustive list of changes including limiting beds available to rising juniors and seniors to a randomly assigned 400. By the time these are fully implemented, Letts Hall will be a freshman-only dorm, Hughes will the designated honors hall and housing on campus reserved for upperclassmen will be a rare find.
