The Sustainability Tracking, Assessment & Rating System™ (STARS) is a transparent, self-reporting framework for colleges and universities to measure sustainability performance. STARS® assesses sustainability performance across four dimensions of sustainability: Academics, Engagement, Operations, and Planning & Administration. Institutions earn points toward Bronze, Silver, Gold, or Platinum Ratings. The University of Minnesota has a goal of achieving a Gold rating for each campus.
The Crookston, Duluth, Morris, and Twin Cities campuses received Gold ratings and Rochester received a Silver rating.
