Committee Creation
In February 2020, President Wendy Wintersteen established the University Sustainability Committee in response to resolutions from the Faculty Senate in 2018 and Student Government in 2019. Both resolutions acknowledged the university's past and current efforts to reduce greenhouse gas emissions and outlined suggested actions necessary for the university to achieve carbon neutrality.
Charge
The University Sustainability Committee is charged with developing a set of actionable recommendations that will advance campus sustainability through cost-effective actions.
