Western students might remember getting report cards to show their progress in grade school. Now, Western gets one too, to show its sustainability progress. Officials released Western’s second sustainability report Thursday, and it catalogs campus efforts to make Western more sustainable, said Sustainability Coordinator Christian Ryan-Downing, who prepared the report. “It lets everybody know what’s going on,” she said. “It’s hard to keep up with everything, and this brings it all together in one place.”

Herald Staff
20 November 2009

Violence that materializes at The Registry could easily spill over onto campus. In my mind, this makes The Registry’s security issue a Western security issue.
