With their support, you can put your facts together (yes, I know you can probably do this without them, but it'll be easier with them on your side - having an 'expert' never hurts). Get the facts down, show the costs (this may be the killer - a lot of colleges are really tight when it comes to money), then show the cost savings, the environmental savings, etc. Then, go before the President/Dean and the board and show 'em what you've got. Be prepared to get shot down at least once. Check the wiki entry for biodiesel for compatibility with various engines.
