"---" indicates that no data was submitted for this field

Does the institution have policies and/or programs in place to reduce emissions from air travel?:
Yes

A brief description of the policies and/or programs:

Chatham University, upon signing the American College and University President’s Climate Committee in 2007, adopted a policy that all unnecessary airfare should be eliminated. This is enforced through both the Academic Affairs Office and the Business Office. Employees must prove that the travel is necessary, and all air travel must be arranged through the university travel agent. The agency selects for the lowest emission flight and reports on flight emissions to the Sustainability Office annually.
