The College has already committed itself to pursuing the goal of sustainability, as expressed in the ‘environmental policy statement of Oberlin College,’ adopted by the Board of Trustees in March 2004. It should abide by this commitment by continuing to work toward developing an environmentally sustainable campus. Justifications include the unprecedented environmental challenges our students will face in the future; the great importance attached by current and prospective students to efforts to achieve sustainability; the learning experiences afforded to students as a result of these efforts; and the continuing example Oberlin can set for other institutions, academic and otherwise.”

The Strategic Plan's has two overall goals: educational and financial. The financial goal is “To enhance the quality and value of the education it provides its students, Oberlin must attain financial sustainability. To remain a great institution of American higher education, Oberlin must enhance each of its revenue streams. Currently its most critical financial priority must be to realize more net tuition revenue per student and to do so in ways that honor Oberlin’s long traditions of racial and socioeconomic diversity.” The Strategic Plan lays out six strategies to achieve that goal.
