A brief description of the institution’s assurance process:
As a preliminary step, all reported data was reviewed by a student employees in the UWRF Sustainability Office using the Review Template. In addition to verifying that content meets required criteria, students also checked spelling, grammar, and hyperlinks. None of the student employees who conducted the review were involved in the data collection for the report.
The report was then shared with six staff from four peer institutions in Wisconsin and the Office of Capital Planning and Budget. Between the six individuals, all sections of the report were externally reviewed.
