Is the ACUPCC a political advocacy group?
No. The ACUPCC is about implementing and innovating solutions to the climate challenge and more effectively educating students so they are better equipped to be successful in the new, more complex, context of the 21st century – not political advocacy. The Steering Committee has explicitly decided to remain policy-neutral, and to focus on creating solutions and serving as a role-model for the rest of society. Of course, individual presidents are free to engage politically on behalf of their institutions as they see fit, and the network serves as a venue for learning about policy that will impact higher education, but the ACUPCC initiative as a whole is explicitly not a political initiative.
