A brief description of steps the institution has taken to ensure that the purchasing policy, directives, or guidelines are followed :
The Student Government Association Sustainability project group petitioned and passed a bill to purchase some portion of paper consumption of at least 30% recycled paper. The Purchasing department agreed to this change in the spring of 2013. The purchasing department purchases paper in bulk from our vendor and therefore, they self-regulate this change.
