Data source(s) and notes about the submission:
Fall 2021 Gordian/SIMAP data collection.
Key takeaways from survey:
- There appears to be a disconnect between how individuals see the importance of the University’s carbon footprint (high) and the impact of their personal commuting habits (low)
- Many of the suggested improvements are initiatives already in place or forthcoming, signaling a lack of awareness
Representative sample is less than 33% of any campus population (student, faculty/staff). Randomized sample is generated by Institutional Research Board.
