This week, as the number of signatories to the American College & University Presidents Climate Commitment sailed past 400, I thought it might be of interest to share some basic statistics about the signatories. The ACUPCC signatories serve about 17% of the college students in America. They come all over the country, with signatories coming from 47 states and Puerto Rico. The three states not yet represented are: Mississippi, Nebraska, and North Dakota. Signatories represent a variety of institution types and sizes.
*25% are community colleges and other 2 year institutions.
*42% are 4 year and graduate institutions with under 5,000 students.
*17% are 4 year and graduate institutions with between 5,000 and 15,000 students.
*15% are 4 year and graduate institutions with more than 15,000 students. Many of America's top colleges and universities have signed the ACUPCC. The signatory list includes:

• 30% of the top 50 National Universities, according to theUS News & World Report;
• 31% of the top 100 National Universities, according to theUS News & World Report;
• 42% of the top 50 Public Universities, according to theUS News & World Report;
• 40% of the top 50 Liberal Arts Colleges , according to theUS News & World Report;
• 43% of the top 100 Liberal Arts Colleges , according to theUS News & World Report;
• 33% of the Best 366 Colleges, according to the Princeton Review;
• 35% of the Association of American Universities, an organization of leading research universities;
• 42% of the Annapolis Group, an association of leading independent liberal arts colleges; and
• 48% of flagship state universities. It's really wonderful to see such a long and impressive list of Presidents and Chancellors come together to tackle one of the most urgent challenges of our time. If your campus hasn't signed yet, I hope you'll consider doing so in the coming year. Let us know how we can help!
