Students Pass Campus Green Fee Clean energy improvements at NEIU will be made possible through a Campus Green Fee of $3 per semester. The University Board of Trustees voted to approve a student referendum for the action, which went into effect in the fall 2007 semester. Nearly $90,000 will be raised each year to fund projects such as a campus-wide energy audit, alternate energy sources (solar panels), lighting efficiency improvements and increased recycling initiatives. The student organization Green Cycle Group initially proposed the idea to the Student Government Association, who passed the referendum with the support of 75 percent of the students who voted. "Passing this referendum really shows how much Northeastern students care about addressing climate change. The Board's approval of the Campus Green Fee ensures that Northeastern will continue to be a leader in clean energy," said Green Cycle Group member Jeremy Slate.
