Yale got a B+ rating not because of it’s facilities or campus (all As) but because of the endowment related activities.

“Yale earned a perfect A grade for its efforts in administration, climate change and energy, green building, and shareholder engagement, but received a C for investment priorities and a D in endowment transparency.”

I’m not sure what you define as “a long way to go”, but if it’s achieving Yale’s goal of getting emissions down by 10% of its 1990 levels, you’re right. If it’s moving up from a B+ to an A- to tie Stanford and the like on our report card, well, all we need is a strong second semester ;)

Best,
