Does the institution have a sustainability plan that meets the criteria for this credit?:
A brief description of how multiple stakeholder groups were involved in developing the plan:
The Environmental Responsibility Committee (composed of faculty, staff and students) held several community-wide consultations regarding sustainability issues on campus. We met with faculty and staff in smaller meetings, met with student senate as a group, and presented twice in front of the entire faculty. We also used a survey tool to take a "snapshot" of how the campus currently thinks about sustainability efforts on campus.
A brief description of the plan’s measurable goals :
The comprehensive sustainability plan identifies 4 major areas: 1. Curriculum; 2. Community; 3. Operations; and 4. Coordination. Within these major areas, we have approximately 25 major institutional recommendations and several suggestions to improve sustainability efforts on campus. Each major recommendation has a "Responsible Office(s)" list associated with it. The plan is also referenced specifically in the College's newly developed Strategic Plan as the means by which we will endeavor to improve our sustainability efforts.
A brief description of how progress in meeting the plan’s goals is measured:
Progress will be measured by an annual assessment of the recommendations and whether or not they have been completed, in progress, not started, deferred, or dropped. The Sustainability Advisory Committee will be responsible, along with the sustainability coordinator, in making these assessments to the responsible parties.
