Number of Sustainability courses and courses that include sustainability: the same criteria were used as defined above for institutional data. In addtion, for sustainability criteria, a preliminary course inventory was prepared from HSI faculty and staff knowledge and from reviewing the course catalog. To discern whether the individual courses met the criteria, faculty were asked for syllabi, course outlines, and their evaluation of their course in relation to the criteria. Finally, department chairs were asked to review and correct a list of courses identified as sustainability courses or courses including sustainability in their departments.
