The University of Illinois at Urbana-Champaign increased its sustainability fee from $5 to $14 this year after students voted to increase the fee.

Like many campuses, the University of Illinois created a fee-funded sustainability fund to pay for green projects on campus.  This year, the student sustainability committee, which allocates the funds, received far more requests than its budget could fund. 

A plan to install a wind turbine on campus is also stalled over funding.
