Sustainability committee(s)
Yes
The charter or mission statement of the committee(s) or a brief description of each committee's purview and activities:
The sustainability committee currently includes 20 representatives from across the campus community; they have volunteered to serve as the “committed core” for the proposed committee. The committee is a diverse group of faculty, administrators and students appointed by the President. The council’s first “charge” is to conduct an inventory of the current sustainability efforts on campus in four main areas: Academics, Engagement, Operations, and Planning & Administration
The committee is currently conducting a Sustainability Audit, which includes specific benchmarks and targets to help guide future, sustainable decision-making on campus. The committee uses nationally recognized categories, which are used by hundreds of other institutions of higher education in the country, specifically we will use the Association for the Advancement of Sustainability in Higher Education’s STARS system.
