By Carley Williamson —

The University of Louisville Sustainability Council proposal to become a Commission was denied Sept. 26.

With commission status, the Sustainability Council would receive more funding to support U of L’s Climate Action Plan (CAP) and connections with president Neeli Bendapudi and other administration offices across campus.

The CAP was created in 2010 and signed into effect by former president James Ramsey as part of his presidential climate commitment.

The plan set a concrete goal for U of L to be carbon neutral by 2050.
