A brief description of how the assessment(s) were developed:
The purpose of this survey is to get a sense of what ASU faculty, staff, and students know and feel about issues of sustainability, and particularly the environmental component of sustainability. Your participation in this survey is voluntary. You may decide to stop at any time for any reason with no penalty, or you may choose not to answer any of the survey questions. All responses will be kept completely anonymous and will not be linked to you in any way (the IR Survey tool ensures that the IP address of your computer is not recorded). You will be asked to complete 24 questions; this process should take 5-10 minutes.
