A brief description of when and why the GHG emissions baseline was adopted:
When the university signed the American College & University Presidents' Climate Commitment (ACUPCC), we conducted our first GHG Inventory in 2008 which serves as the the baseline year.
Part 1. Reduction in GHG emissions per person
Weighted campus users
Performance year | Baseline year | |
Number of students resident on-site | 8,273 | 8,205 |
Number of employees resident on-site | 101 | 224 |
Number of other individuals resident on-site | 138 | 0 |
Total full-time equivalent student enrollment | 31,969 | 28,887.75 |
Full-time equivalent of employees | 9,297 | 7,957.20 |
Full-time equivalent of students enrolled exclusively in distance education | 1,528 | 1,713.25 |
Weighted Campus Users | 32,035 | 28,456.03 |

A brief description of the institution’s GHG emissions reduction initiatives:
One of the most significant projects on campus to reduce the university's GHG emissions is the construction of the co-generation facility. Additionally, the Energy Management teams leads several energy-saving efforts to reduce the energy load campus buildings like the ULT Freezer Rebate Program, Holiday Energy Saving Initiative, and the Summer Energy Saving Initiative.
