Measure 38 [Undergraduate and Graduate]
Amend the Renewable Energy Fee passed in Spring 2006
Shall the undergraduates and graduate students of UCSC amend the Renewable Energy fee passed in Spring 2006? The Measure is being amended to provide funding for on-site renewables and energy efficient projects that will directly reduce our campus' carbon footprint, in combination with supporting a local offset program and purchasing renewable energy certificates to offset campus emissions. This is not a new fee, but a continuation of the existing $3 per quarter fee established by Measure 28 . The amended terms will be effective Fall Quarter 2009.
