How did UTERN receive a levy?
In the spring of 2003, UTERN won a levy that we proposed to have a 50-cent-per-undergraduate-student at the University of Toronto per semester. UTERN also receives a 25-cent- levy from all graduate students. At St.George and UTM campuses, our levy is split with Bikechain. Our levy is renewed annually, and we use it in order to support student-led projects in relation to the environment and sustainability at University of Toronto.
