3 Director s Foreword This report is an analysis of the web-based reporting of sustainability topics covered by the 127 American liberal arts colleges most highly-ranked in 211 by U.. News and World Report. The metrics used are primarily the baseline topics of the Roberts nvironmental Center s Pacific ustainability Index (PI) that we have systematically applied to the world s largest corporations for the last decade, minimally supplemented with topics specific to the education sector. This approach has the advantage of allowing a direct comparison with the sustainability transparency and performance of large corporations, but has the built-in disadvantage that many of these topics of interest to educational institutions are not shared by large corporations, and vice versa. The full scoresheet used in the analysis is appended and a comparison with the questionnaire used by the College ustainability Report Card, accessible at greenreportcard.org, and with the guidance for educational sustainability reporting produced by the Association for the Advancement of ustainability in Higher ducation (AAH), the ustainability Tracking and Rating ystem (TAR) will reveal some of the differences. All three sets of topics are more-or-less arbitrarily chosen, and should all be consulted for a clear overview. The websites of the top 5 colleges excluding Claremont McKenna College were analyzed by the Roberts nvironmental Center in 21 and we have incorporated that information from our 21 report. The analysis for colleges ranked is new in this report. Had we reanalyzed the top 5 it is possible that many of their scores would have improved in the ensuing year, but we do not capture such improvements. We decided to proceed in this way because we wanted to get well beyond the top 5 colleges but we do not have the capacity to analyze many more than 8 colleges at a time. Also, it is our general practice to reanalyze each sector every two years, so it seemed premature to reanalyze the top 5 so soon. We are, in parallel, conducting an equivalent process for American universities, analyzing those ranked 51 through about 127 as well and reporting them along with the rankings of the previous top-ranked 5. That report was released at the same time as this one. As with corporations, we have ranked the colleges by performance on the PI, and assigned letter grades normalized to the highest scorer within this group, Williams College, which by virtue of achieving the highest overall score with 43% of the maximum points, gets an A+. The highest scores in many industrial sectors are higher, commonly above 6%. In comparing the two groups of colleges (the top 5 and ) there is considerable overlap in the scores, with several of the newly analyzed set (College of t. Benedict and t. John s University, Luther College, Hollins University, and ckhard College) near the previous top scorer, Williams College. The original group is marked with asterisks in all of our bar graphs showing rankings, and the interspersion of colleges with asterisks and those without is evident except in the lowest scoring quartile which is made up largely of the lower ranked colleges. On the following page we provide graphs comparing the scores achieved in this report with the U News and World Report ranking, the letter grades assigned by the College ustainabibility Report Card, and the AAH TAR system. The TAR website has, as of this writing, 191 participants, and publishes ratings (Reporter, Bronze ilver, or Gold) for some of them, but as of yet only nine of the top 127 colleges are rated by TAR.

4 The graph above left shows that there is a very low, but significant, correlation between the PI scores and the U.. News and World Report ranking in the expected direction; the higher the PI score the lower the rank. The weakness of this correlation, however, suggests that the U.. News and World Report ranking is not capturing important environmental and social responsibility aspects of college administrative activities and student life that it might consider adding. The graph above right is based on the College ustainability report card at greenreportcard.org and, for the 59 colleges it rates in common with this report, the correlation with the PI is a little better than the U.. News and World Report Ranking, and also in the expected direction with the higher the letter grade, the higher the PI score. This methodology is quite different from the PI; to be scored, the college must have an endowment exceeding $16,,, fill out a detailed questionnaire provided by greenreportcard.com, and pay a fee of $7 to get it processed to produce a score. Colleges not meeting these criteria are not graded, so it might be expected that these ratings would be skewed toward colleges doing a good job of reporting. This is supported by the fact that only five colleges turned in a questionnaire that resulted in a grade of C (a score of 6 on the above graph) or lower. Much of the material considered by the GreenReportCard.org is applicable to the PI, so it would likely increase colleges PI scores if they posted the questionnaires they filled out for GreenReportCard.org to their own websites. The AAH TAR rating system uses a similar approach, with a detailed questionnaire that, so far, only 9 of the top 127 liberal arts colleges appear to have filled out although many more are on the TAR list of participating institutions so it is likely that more data will be available for comparison the next time we do this report. There are too few data points to tell if the TAR ratings are correlated with the PI overall scores 4 ustainability Reporting of Top Liberal Arts Colleges (21*-211)

6 The Pacific ustainability Index (PI) Overview the PI coring ystem The Pacific ustainability Index (PI) uses two systematic questionnaires to analyze the quality of the sustainability reporting a base questionnaire for reports across sectors and a sector-specific questionnaire for universities. The Roberts nvironmental Center The Roberts nvironmental Center is an environmental research institute at Claremont McKenna College (CMC). Its mission is to provide students of all the Claremont Colleges with a comprehensive and realistic understanding of today s environmental issues and the ways in which they are being and can be resolved-- beyond the confines of traditional academic disciplines and curriculum--and to identify, publicize, and encourage policies and practices that achieve economic and social goals in the most environmentally benign and protective manner. The Center is partially funded by an endowment from George R. Roberts (Founding Partner of Kohlberg Kravis Roberts & Co. and CMC alumnus), other grants and gifts, and is staffed by faculty and students from the Claremont Colleges. Methodology tudent analysts download relevant nglish language web pages from the main universities website for analysis. Our scoring excludes data independently stored outside the main university website or available only in hard copy. We archive these web pages as PDF files for future reference. Our analysts use a keyword search function to search reporting of specific topics, they fill out a PI scoring sheet ( and track the coverage and depths of different sustainability issues mentioned in all online materials. cores and Ranks When they are finished scoring, the analysts enter their scoring results into the PI database. The PI database calculates scores and publishes them on the Center s website. This sector report provides an indepth analysis on sustainability reporting of the largest universities of the sector, as listed in the U.. News and World Report. What do the scores mean? We normalize all the scores to the potential maximum score. cores of subsets of the overall score are also normalized to their potential maxima. The letter grades (A+, A, A-, B+, etc.), however, are normalized to the highest scoring university analyzed in the report. Universities with scores in the highest 4% get an A+ and any in the bottom 4% get an F. We assign these by dividing the maximum PI score obtained in the sector into 12 equal parts then rounding fractional score up or down. This means that A+ and F are underrepresented compared to the other grades. The same technique applies to the separate categories of environmental and social scores. Thus, we grade on the curve. We assume that the highest score obtained in the sector and any scores near it represent the state-of-the-art for that sector and deserve an A ustainability Reporting of Top Liberal Arts Colleges (21*-211)
7 PI coring in a Nutshell Our analysis of sustainability reporting has a set of basic topics applied to all organizations as well as a series of sector-specific topics. The topics are divided into environmental and social categories the latter including human rights and into three types of information: 1) intent, 2) reporting, and 3) performance. 1. Intent The Intent topics are each worth two points; one point for a discussion of intentions, vision, or plans, and one point for evidence of specific actions taken to implement them. 2. Reporting The Reporting topics are each worth five points and are either quantitative (for which we expect numerical data) or qualitative (for which we don t). For quantitative topics, one point is available for a discussion, one point for putting the information into perspective (i.e. awards, industry standards, competitor performance, etc., or if the raw data are normalized by dividing by revenue, number of employees, number of widgets produced, etc.), one point for the presence of an explicit numerical goal, one point for numerical data from a single year, and one point for similar data from a previous year. For qualitative topics, there are three criteria summed up to five points: 1.67 points for discussion, 1.67 points for initiatives or actions, and 1.67 points for perspective. 3. Performance For each Reporting topic, two performance points are available. For quantitative topics, one point is given for improvement from the previous reporting period, and one point for better performance than the sector average (based on the data used for this sector report normalized by revenue). For qualitative topics, we give one point for any indication of improvement from previous reporting periods, and one point for perspective. The 11 human rights topics are scored differently, with five reporting points; 2.5 points for formally adopting a policy or standard and 2.5 points for a description of monitoring measures. In addition, there are two performance points; one point for evidence of actions to reinforce policy and one point for a quantitative indication of compliance.

33 B+ Amherst College* Amherst College 29 Web Pages Amherst College, like many colleges across the nation has committed to sustainable practices and education. It has pledged to conserve and to support the sustainable use of natural resources through policies, programs, and practices. In comparison to other colleges, Amherst stands as a beacon for sustainable goals. Amherst College is very environmentally and socially aware, and it works to bring sustainability issues to the forefront of discussion. Along with major changes in structure, such as an increase in green building, Amherst has made sustainability an everyday practice. With an increase in transportation sharing programs such as Zipcar, and even smaller implementations such as placing eco-friendly napkin dispensers in the dining halls to reduce the amount of wasted napkins, sustainability has become a way of life for many Amherst students and faculty. The College also has the ability to get campus involvement in more abstract forms of sustainability such as getting more than 1,7 students and faculty to pledge to place their computers on sleep mode when idle. With a decrease in waste, an increase in recycling, the use of clean renewable energy, local organic food production, mixed with campus awareness and participation Amherst should reach all goals relatively soon.

The numerous efforts, such as providing safer and cleaner transportation for students and building "greener" dormitories, are reflective of what Austin College and its residents strive for a safer and greener community. Austin College does need to do a better job at reporting employment information and policies. Though all employees have access to campus information and working terms through the "Austin College Intranet," it is important to make all employment information public on the website.

38 B Barnard College* Barnard College 29 Web Pages In its mission statement, Barnard College has a specific goal of how much it would like to reduce emissions and states that it is fully committed to environmental sustainability. In 27, two students and a faculty member constructed a Barnard College ustainability Report. This report gives a brief overview of where Barnard stands in relation to certain environmental issues and describes how the students, faculty, and administration play a role in sustainability at Barnard. This was something nearly unique; the only other school that had its own sustainability report in 27 (as far as we are aware) is Claremont McKenna College. Barnard s sustainability website also has a Technical nergy and Water avings audit which documents goals, analyzes energy use, and develops short term and long term plans for Barnard. This was a useful resource for grasping numerical initiatives and improvements for the institution. Overall, although Barnard mentions much of what is used on the PI scoring sheets, I would not necessarily say that it is doing an exceptional job in maintaining a sustainable campus. The College could do a better job listing specific goals and numbers about consumption on campus in order to paint a more vivid picture of actual improvements or work being done, if any.

Bates has LD certified buildings and active recycling, and green food practices and purchasing were well reported along with transportation initiatives and detailed student involvement. Bates has also been involved in social and environmental community development. There is some discussion of rationale and procedures for choosing environmental initiatives and targets, and the historical progression of Bates environmental policy and initiatives is an interesting and useful resource. But there is no mention of Bates position on habitat conservation or biodiversity, no information on age gender or race/ethnicity, supplier screening, employment of individuals with disabilities or on employee training, and no information on environmental accounting (expenses and fines). Investment priorities are not reported either, but Bates reported to greenreportcard.org that its holdings were available to certain administrators; if this information were made public it would improve Bates PI score. There are no data on hazardous waste produced or released either, but there is discussion of several key environmental factors such as total greenhouse gas emissions, renewable energy used, waste disposed of, and water recycled. There are no recordable incidents or accident incidences reported. Pesticide and fertilizer use are not reported and land use is only briefly discussed.

Berry also has defined policies for management of hazardous materials and purchasing of nergy tar-compliant appliances. However, the information on the site tends to be more narrative than quantitative, and statistics on the initiatives are not available for more recent years. In addition, the College's website requires a login to access information regarding the human resources department, so many of the policies regarding employees are unavailable to the public. Berry shows a strong commitment to sustainability, and further reporting and more detailed quantitative information would reinforce this.

43 C+ Bowdoin College* Bowdoin College 29 Web Pages ustainability is more than an intellectual concept at Bowdoin. Bowdoin College has definitely committed itself to making sure sustainability reaches every point of learning and practice at the institution. Along with the nvironmental tudies major, students can pair up this major with another, such as Geology, Physics or even nglish. uch unique coordination offers students a holistic view of sustainability and the world. tudents also participate in coreps, an organization that helps foster communication between students and administration to improve student life and its commitment to environmental issues. Bowdoin also has participated for a third year in a row in Recycle Mania, a nationwide recycling competition, thus showing how sustainability is a concern that reaches outside of the campus. Transportation is another aspect Bowdoin tries to incorporate into its sustainability vision. It has created several ways for students and employees to carpool or look for other ways of traveling off campus. ome of these methods include the Bowdoin Yellow Bike Club which provides bicycles across campus, the Bowdoin College Ride hare Board, an online forum which helps students communicate with one another to get transportation, the Bowdoin huttle ervice which provides students with transportation on campus while classes are in session, and lastly, a ZipCar fleet which allows students and employees to rent cars by the hour. lizabeth Perez =Total nvironmental core, A=nvironmental ector Average core, I=nvironmental Intent, R=nvironmental Reporting, P=nvironmental Performance, =Total ocial core, A=ocial ector Average core, I=ocial Intent, R=ocial Reporting, P=ocial Performance ource of points A A 5 67% 33% I R P I R P Bowdoin College* nvironmental Intent Accountability xcellent College ector pecific Indicator xcellent Management Good Policy xcellent The College ustainability Report Card Criteria xcellent Vision Good nvironmental Reporting missions to Air Needs improvement nergy Good Management Needs substantial improvement Materials Usage Needs substantial improvement Recycling Good Waste Needs substantial improvement Water Needs improvement ocial Intent Accountability xcellent Management Good Policy Needs improvement ocial Demographic xcellent The College ustainability Report Card Criteria Needs improvement Vision Good ocial Reporting Human Rights Needs substantial improvement Management 7 Needs substantial improvement Qualitative ocial Needs substantial improvement Quantitative ocial 42 Needs substantial improvement 43 ustainability Reporting of Top Liberal Arts Colleges (21*-211)
44 C- Bryn Mawr College* Bryn Mawr College 29 Web Pages Bryn Mawr College is strongly dedicated to energy conservation. It has had several workshops dedicated to renewable energy (specifically windmills) and continue to increase its green purchasing by using LD lights in signs. A campus group called The Greens has been initiated to get students educated and involved with sustainability initiatives and get the support from administrators as well. Bryn Mawr claims to have the lowest energy consumption of any of its peers and has started an nergy Diet that reduces dorm energy consumption by 12%. For the dining halls, the college purchases some organic food, and recycles waste oil by using it as biodiesel, and there is a recycling program on campus. There is no information about campus greenhouse gas emissions however. The social policy statement is limited; most of the information is in the Honor Code. Bryn Mawr does report that 49% of its faculty is female and that there is an effort to increase the attendance of women. There is no information about safety incident rates or health and safety fines, but there is an nvironmental Health and afety office, which manages occupational health and safety protection. Through its student-run organizations, Bryn Mawr demonstrates efforts in community development, education, and volunteerism. Overall Bryn Mawr offers a large amount of information about energy, green buildings and green transportation. It needs to develop more environmental initiatives and select performance indicators to get feedback. It would be useful to widen its environmental awareness; although it appears to be doing an admirable job in conserving energy, other areas of the environment including biodiversity, habitat conservation, and global warming are unaddressed.

45 A Bucknell University* Bucknell University 29 Web Pages Bucknell University has an extremely detailed Comprehensive nvironmental Assessment on its website, one of the most thorough we have seen, providing an exemplary model for those conducting similar analyses. It explicitly avoids most social aspects of sustainability reporting, hence its score on the PI is not has high as might be expected for such a massive effort, but we imagine that a social analysis can't be far behind. A particularly interesting feature is its formal discussion of letter grades Bucknell received on the ustainable ndowments Institute's "28 College ustainability Report Card" and responses which produced better results in 29. A few of the topics covered in the analysis are listed below: The fuel efficiency is recorded for all Bucknell University vehicles. The frequency of North American native trees on campus is recorded. Pesticides and fertilizers used are listed. The Campus Greening Council is made up of students, faculty, and staff, who make environmental policy recommendations to the administration. The nvironmental Management Assistance Program serves to reduce raw material purchase costs, reduce compliance burdens and costs associated with environmental permits, recordkeeping and reporting requirements, reduce waste management, treatment and disposal costs, and reduce long-term liabilities associated with hazardous waste management. In 1998 Bucknell s power plant was converted from a conventional coal-burning facility to a co-generation power plan fueled by natural gas. This conversion has led to a 4% reduction in the University s greenhouse gas emissions. Beginning in 2 Bucknell began purchasing wind power to supplement its on-site power generation. As of January 28, wind power represented 1% of Bucknell s purchased energy, for a total of approximately 4 million kilowatt hours per year. Bucknell students can report incidents of abuse by the Lewisburg Police, Penn. tate Police,. Buffalo Police, or Public afety to the Bucknell tudent Government. ince pring of 28 the Dining program has distributed "-comment" cards. The responses are displayed via a digital picture frame outside the Bostwick marketplace. Coffee is purchased from a particular plantation community in Nicaragua.

46 B Calvin College Calvin College 211 ustainability Web Pages Calvin College has multiple webpages that address multiple sustainability initiatives and programs, including statements on sustainability that detail possible initiatives to be implemented for green measures. Webpages inform readers of topics such as fertilizers, waste and recycling programs, and green space and building achievements. ven more, Calvin College has an impressive report of community and social development and outreach to the surrounding community. However, the majority of the information from the webpages recommends programs to be implemented in the future, rather than concrete data specifying the results of existing programs. Furthermore, the webpages do not provide extensive information concerning environmental expenses, fines and violations, employee information, and human rights topics. The implementation of programs as well as more concrete reports of quantitative data must be displayed on the webpages to clearly demonstrate Calvin College s focus on the environmental and social sustainability measures.

The report is structured as a collection of indicators and associated goals, benchmarks and recommendations. The report does an excellent job at noting areas in which institutional policy could be introduced to improve environmental sustainability. Nevertheless, without direct institutional support, the report is incapable of demonstrating institutional intent or discussing management systems. Also, the report fails to touch on social sustainability, greatly reducing its total PI score.

While the College's website lists numerous links to external sites providing information relating to issues of environmental sustainability, the website provides extremely little information on the College's own energy and resource consumption, its practices and polities geared toward addressing issues of social and environmental sustainability, and its students' involvement in the College and local communities. We encourage Central College to be more open about its practices, policies, and consumption data by listing the information on its website in order to score higher in future surveys.

Most insightful was its Plan for Climate Neutrality published in 21 as part of its Climate Commitment to the American College and University Presidents. The shortcoming of Coe College's website lies in its lack of information regarding topics on human rights, as well as a substantial number of topics for which there should be quantitative data. The College succeeded in addressing the majority of topics in the intent section of the PI, but these are largely qualititative. We suspect that the College will improve with time inasmuch as its Plan for Climate neutrality is very recent.

51 C- Colby College* Colby College 29 Web Pages Colby College has done a truly outstanding job of addressing the need for education about the environmental challenges of today. The College started its environmental studies program in the 197 s and has been alerting students to sustainability problems ever since. This is reflected in the number of different green programs Colby students are involved in, from lobbying Capitol Hill about climate change to giving out florescent light bulbs to save energy, Colby students are trying to bring about change on their campus, in their state, and in their country. The administration at Colby deserves praise for more than just fostering and supporting the initiatives and actions of its students. In 23 Colby made the historic shift to 1% renewable power, a costly initiative that demonstrated the College s commitment to the environment. The College considers both its environmental impact and its endowment when making purchasing decisions and has found ways to take care of both, building LD certified buildings that use less power and purchasing washers that use less water and detergent. It is clear that Colby has a large number of sustainability initiatives in place, however in some cases the College hasn t posted the numerical results of these initiatives which have made it hard to judge the effect of many of them.

Along with discussing several of the most pertinent environmental and social issues, Colgate also reports its energy consumption and the amount of waste disposed of. While much of Colgate s website details school-wide programs and quantitative information, Colgate also highlights the importance of student environmental education. For example, Colgate s Guide to Green Living provides students with tips to reduce their energy and water consumption. Colgate also provides students with opportunities to get involved in the College s sustainability mission. Colgate University provides an adequate example of basic sustainability reporting for a college, but there is clearly room for improvement.

In June 28, the College released its nvironmental Inventory and ustainability Management Plan with the help of an engineering consulting group. This document, available on the College website, gives recommendations for improving energy efficiency, cutting down on greenhouse gas emissions, reducing water usage, improving transportation, etc. Colorado College has already supported numerous such projects. A solar electric system with a capacity of -kw was installed on top of the dith Gaylord Apartments. Both the science and arts centers have earned LD certifications, and the administration pledges to reach LD certification for all new buildings. Bon Appetit has been providing food services since 28 and has stressed the importance of local and organic food, even buying fruits and vegetables from the student-run, sustainable Colorado College Garden.

This document outlines many initiatives the College should take and suggests goals in the areas of water, food, transportation, energy and waste. Unfortunately, there is little indication that these initiatives have been taken or that the goals have been adopted in the time since the report was published. A student petition on the website suggests that this is because there are not enough resources dedicated to sustainability efforts at the campus. Concordia does have a ustainability Task Force composed of faculty, staff, and students, and has implemented some innovative programs such as an organic community garden and a habitat restoration initiative at the college's Long Lake property. Despite these measures, the college has not successfully focused its environmental efforts, and would do well to actively pursue the suggestions outlined in the ustainability Roadmap.

The College also has many goals regarding the practice and policy of sustainability and has come a long way from past years towards implementing them. There is a problem, however, in the amount of performance reported. With all of the great things taking place on Connecticut s campus, such as the reduction of 2% of greenhouse gas emissions since 24 and the large amount of renewable energy purchased, the information available on many of the topics considered in the PI is subpar. Connecticut College, however, appears to be aware of this shortcoming and I believe that with the help of the environmental coordinator, the college will not only increase its sustainability practices but also more thoroughly and readily report it.

59 C+ Davidson College* Davidson College 29 Web Pages Although Davidson College published a 29 ustainability Report, the college s reporting still lags behind the reporting of some of its peer institutions. A progressive Climate Action Plan is in place to reduce greenhouse gas emissions, but current quantitative data regarding emissions and energy use are not reported. Davidson touches on several of the most important social and environmental issues and has a few initiatives that promote both student and administrative involvement. These initiatives and goals have resulted in improvements in areas such as bottled water and energy usage and recycling; however, in general Davidson College s reporting has considerable room for improvement.

60 B DePauw University* DePauw University 29 Web Pages Many of the categories in the PI were answered by the President s tatement and DePauw s mission statement. One thing that I noticed about the mission statement is that it was very general and without any specific proposed actions, but I did enjoy the video about the new compost stations. It is a great way to bring awareness to the situation and the initiatives taken. I also enjoyed reading about the Carbon Footprint Project, but I would like to see current examples of what they have already done with this project and their results as of now. There is a Get Involved events calendar, but there were no future events listed, although there had been some good programs that involved the outside community. The DePauw Community ervice volunteers in the community of Greencastle and I would like to see distinct examples of some of the projects DC has done in the community and on campus, but I could not find any on the website. Many of the projects and programs are student run and even though the majority of the people at the university are students, I would like to see exactly how the University gets its faculty and staff involved directly.

61 B- Dickinson College* Dickinson College 29 Web Pages Dickinson College is a leader in campus sustainability. Dr. William G. Durden, the president of Dickinson, signed the Presidents Climate Commitment in 27 that has since become a core component of the College s sustainability program. The College runs both an Office of ustainability with hired sustainability coordinators and a Center for nvironmental and ustainability ducation where a full time director was hired in 28. Dickinson College has been recognized numerous times for its innovative execution of sustainable food service initiatives. The College dining services purchase from seven local farms and producers, including a local dairy farm. In addition, the Dickinson College Organic Farm has been developed to provide produce to the college s dining services. By purchasing vegetables from the college farm at market price, dining services is saving food and transportation cost while also reinvesting more than $6,5 into the College farm in the last fiscal year. Investment priorities and shareholder engagement are two more exceptional areas of strength of the College, areas that the majority of other colleges struggle with. The College currently invests in socially screened funds, green funds, and community development funds. Additionally, a unique ocially Responsible Investment Discussion Group was formed in 27 consisting of four students, four faculty members, one alumnus, and two administrators, all of whom study socially responsible and sustainable investment.

62 D- Doane College Doane College 211 ustainability Web Pages Doane College is an impressive private, independent, coeducational college based in Nebraska. There is, however, no information available on the College's web site concerning its stainability efforts. It does provide some information on the workforce and on its policy toward sexual harassment, and the College is dedicated to the health and safety. I think that if they devote themselves to the environment the same way that they are dedicated to health and safety, it would make this College appear to be a more well-rounded institution.

63 A- ckerd College ckerd College 211 ustainability Web Pages ckerd College has taken quite a few dramatic steps toward becoming a more sustainable institution, a fact clearly evidenced by its website's abundance of information on the topic. Aside from covering just about every topic listed on the PI scoring index, ckerd provides a wealth of information on its institutional practices from the most mundane, like buying food and other products, to the more extravagant investments (like commissioning a solar energy project). While the website could use more extensive information on the College's workplace profile, more in-depth information on its landscaping practices and overall water/energy use, as well as detailed information on the College employees specifically charged with promoting and implementing sustainable practices (and their contact info, along with a management structure), the site indeed covers most of the topics of import. However, the College should make its social vision and goals more clear (even though it lists its community projects and investments in detail). Nevertheless, ckerd College is clearly dedicated to engaging in more sustainable practices and providing information on its efforts to that end. For this, ckerd College is to be commended and scored accordingly.

64 D mory and Henry College mory and Henry College 211 Web Pages In mory and Henry College s web pages, the College expresses its deep concern for the social community and respect for the environment. Many of the College s initiatives directed toward its stances on social and environmental aspects can be seen in the actions of its Appalachian Center for Community ervice, ervice Learning Leadership, and its &H Greens pecial Interest Group on campus. Despite these initiatives, mory and Henry College's website entirely lacks social and environmental reporting. The College does have a 29 Corporate Citizenship Report for its dining hall services, but the report does not encompass the reporting of the campus as a whole. In addition, the College mentions a code of conduct, yet does not have this code available online. imply adding an online version of its code of conduct would help increase its overall PI score. rin Franks Karina Gomez =Total nvironmental core, A=nvironmental ector Average core, I=nvironmental Intent, R=nvironmental Reporting, P=nvironmental Performance, =Total ocial core, A=ocial ector Average core, I=ocial Intent, R=ocial Reporting, P=ocial Performance ource of points A A 5 43% 57% I R P I R P mory and Henry College nvironmental Intent Accountability 1 4 Needs improvement College ector pecific Indicator 2 Needs substantial improvement Management 8 Needs substantial improvement Policy Needs substantial improvement The College ustainability Report Card Criteria Needs improvement Vision Good nvironmental Reporting nergy 14 Needs substantial improvement Management 63 Needs substantial improvement Materials Usage Needs substantial improvement Recycling 14 Needs substantial improvement Waste 28 Needs substantial improvement Water 7 Needs substantial improvement ocial Intent Accountability 1 4 Needs improvement Management Needs substantial improvement Policy Needs improvement ocial Demographic 2 Needs substantial improvement The College ustainability Report Card Criteria Needs substantial improvement Vision Good ocial Reporting Human Rights Needs substantial improvement Management 7 Needs substantial improvement Qualitative ocial Needs substantial improvement Quantitative ocial 42 Needs substantial improvement 64 ustainability Reporting of Top Liberal Arts Colleges (21*-211)
65 C- Albion College Albion College 211 ustainability Web Pages Albion College's website consist of various pages that address very few sustainability issues. Little student involvement is noted only a student from 28 who received a $1, grant from the U.. nvironmental Protection Agency that allowed him to design modified bicycles and rowing machines that converted exercisers' expended calories into electrical energy. This project was also followed by the installation of "Brit Bikes Library" in which students can check out bikes. Albion College's new science complex was awarded silver certification under the U.. Green Building Council s Leadership in nergy and nvironmental Design (LD) rating system. Albion's community and campus organizations that focus on promoting sustainability awareness are listed under the "Green Group" tab, but are not further discussed.

66 B+ Allegheny College Allegheny College 211 ustainability Web Pages Allegheny College's website demonstrates substantial commitment to environmental sustainability and community development. The College s commitment is immediately apparent through its partnering with several environmental agencies such as the U.. Green Building Council. In addition, as a charter signatory of the American College & University Presidents Climate Commitment, progress on the college s commitment to reduce its carbon footprint is readily accessible through links to recent news releases. specially useful were links to the College s Center for conomic and nvironmental Development (CD) as well as its Green Gator blog, which demonstrate substantial amounts of staff, student, and community involvement in sustainable economic growth and environmental management. Although Allegheny College mentions conducting an energy audit in 28, the report is not available on the website. Furthermore, no quantitative information is available online regarding waste water, pesticide, and fertilizer use, among other things that should be included. Online access to information regarding social responsibility is much less available on the website than that on environmental commitment.

68 B+ Amherst College* Amherst College 29 Web Pages Amherst College, like many colleges across the nation has committed to sustainable practices and education. It has pledged to conserve and to support the sustainable use of natural resources through policies, programs, and practices. In comparison to other colleges, Amherst stands as a beacon for sustainable goals. Amherst College is very environmentally and socially aware, and it works to bring sustainability issues to the forefront of discussion. Along with major changes in structure, such as an increase in green building, Amherst has made sustainability an everyday practice. With an increase in transportation sharing programs such as Zipcar, and even smaller implementations such as placing eco-friendly napkin dispensers in the dining halls to reduce the amount of wasted napkins, sustainability has become a way of life for many Amherst students and faculty. The College also has the ability to get campus involvement in more abstract forms of sustainability such as getting more than 1,7 students and faculty to pledge to place their computers on sleep mode when idle. With a decrease in waste, an increase in recycling, the use of clean renewable energy, local organic food production, mixed with campus awareness and participation Amherst should reach all goals relatively soon.

Its community involvement, whether on campus or in nearby communities, is one of the best. The numerous efforts, such as providing safer and cleaner transportation for students and building "greener" dormitories, are reflective of what Austin College and its residents strive for a safer and greener community. Austin College does need to do a better job at reporting employment information and policies. Though all employees have access to campus information and working terms through the "Austin College Intranet," it is important to make all employment information public on the website.

73 B Barnard College* Barnard College 29 Web Pages In its mission statement, Barnard College has a specific goal of how much it would like to reduce emissions and states that it is fully committed to environmental sustainability. In 27, two students and a faculty member constructed a Barnard College ustainability Report. This report gives a brief overview of where Barnard stands in relation to certain environmental issues and describes how the students, faculty, and administration play a role in sustainability at Barnard. This was something nearly unique; the only other school that had its own sustainability report in 27 (as far as we are aware) is Claremont McKenna College. Barnard s sustainability website also has a Technical nergy and Water avings audit which documents goals, analyzes energy use, and develops short term and long term plans for Barnard. This was a useful resource for grasping numerical initiatives and improvements for the institution. Overall, although Barnard mentions much of what is used on the PI scoring sheets, I would not necessarily say that it is doing an exceptional job in maintaining a sustainable campus. The College could do a better job listing specific goals and numbers about consumption on campus in order to paint a more vivid picture of actual improvements or work being done, if any.

Bates has LD certified buildings and active recycling, and green food practices and purchasing were well reported along with transportation initiatives and detailed student involvement. Bates has also been involved in social and environmental community development. There is some discussion of rationale and procedures for choosing environmental initiatives and targets, and the historical progression of Bates environmental policy and initiatives is an interesting and useful resource. But there is no mention of Bates position on habitat conservation or biodiversity, no information on age gender or race/ethnicity, supplier screening, employment of individuals with disabilities or on employee training, and no information on environmental accounting (expenses and fines). Investment priorities are not reported either, but Bates reported to greenreportcard.org that its holdings were available to certain administrators; if this information were made public it would improve Bates PI score. There are no data on hazardous waste produced or released either, but there is discussion of several key environmental factors such as total greenhouse gas emissions, renewable energy used, waste disposed of, and water recycled. There are no recordable incidents or accident incidences reported. Pesticide and fertilizer use are not reported and land use is only briefly discussed.

76 B+ Berry College Berry College 211 ustainability Web Pages Berry College boasts an impressive sustainability initiative, with aggressive programs to reduce greenhouse gas emissions and promote recycling and energy conservation. Berry participates in the American Colleges and Universities' Climate Commitment, and has developed a detailed climate action plan in accordance with this challenge. Berry also has defined policies for management of hazardous materials and purchasing of nergy tar-compliant appliances. However, the information on the site tends to be more narrative than quantitative, and statistics on the initiatives are not available for more recent years. In addition, the College's website requires a login to access information regarding the human resources department, so many of the policies regarding employees are unavailable to the public. Berry shows a strong commitment to sustainability, and further reporting and more detailed quantitative information would reinforce this.

Bowdoin College has definitely committed itself to making sure sustainability reaches every point of learning and practice at the institution. Along with the nvironmental tudies major, students can pair up this major with another, such as Geology, Physics or even nglish. uch unique coordination offers students a holistic view of sustainability and the world. tudents also participate in coreps, an organization that helps foster communication between students and administration to improve student life and its commitment to environmental issues. Bowdoin also has participated for a third year in a row in Recycle Mania, a nationwide recycling competition, thus showing how sustainability is a concern that reaches outside of the campus. Transportation is another aspect Bowdoin tries to incorporate into its sustainability vision. It has created several ways for students and employees to carpool or look for other ways of traveling off campus. ome of these methods include the Bowdoin Yellow Bike Club which provides bicycles across campus, the Bowdoin College Ride hare Board, an online forum which helps students communicate with one another to get transportation, the Bowdoin huttle ervice which provides students with transportation on campus while classes are in session, and lastly, a ZipCar fleet which allows students and employees to rent cars by the hour. lizabeth Perez =Total nvironmental core, A=nvironmental ector Average core, I=nvironmental Intent, R=nvironmental Reporting, P=nvironmental Performance, =Total ocial core, A=ocial ector Average core, I=ocial Intent, R=ocial Reporting, P=ocial Performance ource of points A A 5 67% 33% I R P I R P Bowdoin College* nvironmental Intent Accountability xcellent College ector pecific Indicator xcellent Management Good Policy xcellent The College ustainability Report Card Criteria xcellent Vision Good nvironmental Reporting missions to Air Needs improvement nergy Good Management Needs substantial improvement Materials Usage Needs substantial improvement Recycling Good Waste Needs substantial improvement Water Needs improvement ocial Intent Accountability xcellent Management Good Policy Needs improvement ocial Demographic xcellent The College ustainability Report Card Criteria Needs improvement Vision Good ocial Reporting Human Rights Needs substantial improvement Management 7 Needs substantial improvement Qualitative ocial Needs substantial improvement Quantitative ocial 42 Needs substantial improvement 78 ustainability Reporting of Top Liberal Arts Colleges (21*-211)
79 C- Bryn Mawr College* Bryn Mawr College 29 Web Pages Bryn Mawr College is strongly dedicated to energy conservation. It has had several workshops dedicated to renewable energy (specifically windmills) and continue to increase its green purchasing by using LD lights in signs. A campus group called The Greens has been initiated to get students educated and involved with sustainability initiatives and get the support from administrators as well. Bryn Mawr claims to have the lowest energy consumption of any of its peers and has started an nergy Diet that reduces dorm energy consumption by 12%. For the dining halls, the college purchases some organic food, and recycles waste oil by using it as biodiesel, and there is a recycling program on campus. There is no information about campus greenhouse gas emissions however. The social policy statement is limited; most of the information is in the Honor Code. Bryn Mawr does report that 49% of its faculty is female and that there is an effort to increase the attendance of women. There is no information about safety incident rates or health and safety fines, but there is an nvironmental Health and afety office, which manages occupational health and safety protection. Through its student-run organizations, Bryn Mawr demonstrates efforts in community development, education, and volunteerism. Overall Bryn Mawr offers a large amount of information about energy, green buildings and green transportation. It needs to develop more environmental initiatives and select performance indicators to get feedback. It would be useful to widen its environmental awareness; although it appears to be doing an admirable job in conserving energy, other areas of the environment including biodiversity, habitat conservation, and global warming are unaddressed.

80 A Bucknell University* Bucknell University 29 Web Pages Bucknell University has an extremely detailed Comprehensive nvironmental Assessment on its website, one of the most thorough we have seen, providing an exemplary model for those conducting similar analyses. It explicitly avoids most social aspects of sustainability reporting, hence its score on the PI is not has high as might be expected for such a massive effort, but we imagine that a social analysis can't be far behind. A particularly interesting feature is its formal discussion of letter grades Bucknell received on the ustainable ndowments Institute's "28 College ustainability Report Card" and responses which produced better results in 29. A few of the topics covered in the analysis are listed below: The fuel efficiency is recorded for all Bucknell University vehicles. The frequency of North American native trees on campus is recorded. Pesticides and fertilizers used are listed. The Campus Greening Council is made up of students, faculty, and staff, who make environmental policy recommendations to the administration. The nvironmental Management Assistance Program serves to reduce raw material purchase costs, reduce compliance burdens and costs associated with environmental permits, recordkeeping and reporting requirements, reduce waste management, treatment and disposal costs, and reduce long-term liabilities associated with hazardous waste management. In 1998 Bucknell s power plant was converted from a conventional coal-burning facility to a co-generation power plan fueled by natural gas. This conversion has led to a 4% reduction in the University s greenhouse gas emissions. Beginning in 2 Bucknell began purchasing wind power to supplement its on-site power generation. As of January 28, wind power represented 1% of Bucknell s purchased energy, for a total of approximately 4 million kilowatt hours per year. Bucknell students can report incidents of abuse by the Lewisburg Police, Penn. tate Police,. Buffalo Police, or Public afety to the Bucknell tudent Government. ince pring of 28 the Dining program has distributed "-comment" cards. The responses are displayed via a digital picture frame outside the Bostwick marketplace. Coffee is purchased from a particular plantation community in Nicaragua.

Webpages inform readers of topics such as fertilizers, waste and recycling programs, and green space and building achievements. ven more, Calvin College has an impressive report of community and social development and outreach to the surrounding community. However, the majority of the information from the webpages recommends programs to be implemented in the future, rather than concrete data specifying the results of existing programs. Furthermore, the webpages do not provide extensive information concerning environmental expenses, fines and violations, employee information, and human rights topics. The implementation of programs as well as more concrete reports of quantitative data must be displayed on the webpages to clearly demonstrate Calvin College s focus on the environmental and social sustainability measures.

The report is structured as a collection of indicators and associated goals, benchmarks and recommendations. The report does an excellent job at noting areas in which institutional policy could be introduced to improve environmental sustainability. Nevertheless, without direct institutional support, the report is incapable of demonstrating institutional intent or discussing management systems.

Most insightful was its Plan for Climate Neutrality published in 21 as part of its Climate Commitment to the American College and University Presidents. The shortcoming of Coe College's website lies in its lack of information regarding topics on human rights, as well as a substantial number of topics for which there should be quantitative data. The College succeeded in addressing the majority of topics in the intent section of the PI, but these are largely qualititative. We suspect that the College will improve with time inasmuch as its Plan for Climate neutrality is very recent.

The College started its environmental studies program in the 197 s and has been alerting students to sustainability problems ever since. This is reflected in the number of different green programs Colby students are involved in, from lobbying Capitol Hill about climate change to giving out florescent light bulbs to save energy, Colby students are trying to bring about change on their campus, in their state, and in their country. The administration at Colby deserves praise for more than just fostering and supporting the initiatives and actions of its students. In 23 Colby made the historic shift to 1% renewable power, a costly initiative that demonstrated the College s commitment to the environment. The College considers both its environmental impact and its endowment when making purchasing decisions and has found ways to take care of both, building LD certified buildings that use less power and purchasing washers that use less water and detergent. It is clear that Colby has a large number of sustainability initiatives in place, however in some cases the College hasn t posted the numerical results of these initiatives which have made it hard to judge the effect of many of them.

Along with discussing several of the most pertinent environmental and social issues, Colgate also reports its energy consumption and the amount of waste disposed of. While much of Colgate s website details school-wide programs and quantitative information, Colgate also highlights the importance of student environmental education. For example, Colgate s Guide to Green Living provides students with tips to reduce their energy and water consumption. Colgate also provides students with opportunities to get involved in the College s sustainability mission. Colgate University provides an adequate example of basic sustainability reporting for a college, but there is clearly room for improvement.

92 B+ Concordia College-- Moorhead Concordia College 211 Web Pages Concordia College is aware of the need for environmental improvement, and in 27 the college commissioned a ustainability Roadmap to be prepared by the University of Michigan. This document outlines many initiatives the College should take and suggests goals in the areas of water, food, transportation, energy and waste. Unfortunately, there is little indication that these initiatives have been taken or that the goals have been adopted in the time since the report was published. A student petition on the website suggests that this is because there are not enough resources dedicated to sustainability efforts at the campus. Concordia does have a ustainability Task Force composed of faculty, staff, and students, and has implemented some innovative programs such as an organic community garden and a habitat restoration initiative at the college's Long Lake property. Despite these measures, the college has not successfully focused its environmental efforts, and would do well to actively pursue the suggestions outlined in the ustainability Roadmap.

93 C Connecticut College* Connecticut College 29 Web Pages Connecticut College employs a full-time environmental coordinator and makes contact readily available. The College also has many goals regarding the practice and policy of sustainability and has come a long way from past years towards implementing them. There is a problem, however, in the amount of performance reported. With all of the great things taking place on Connecticut s campus, such as the reduction of 2% of greenhouse gas emissions since 24 and the large amount of renewable energy purchased, the information available on many of the topics considered in the PI is subpar. Connecticut College, however, appears to be aware of this shortcoming and I believe that with the help of the environmental coordinator, the college will not only increase its sustainability practices but also more thoroughly and readily report it.

94 C+ Davidson College* Davidson College 29 Web Pages Although Davidson College published a 29 ustainability Report, the college s reporting still lags behind the reporting of some of its peer institutions. A progressive Climate Action Plan is in place to reduce greenhouse gas emissions, but current quantitative data regarding emissions and energy use are not reported. Davidson touches on several of the most important social and environmental issues and has a few initiatives that promote both student and administrative involvement. These initiatives and goals have resulted in improvements in areas such as bottled water and energy usage and recycling; however, in general Davidson College s reporting has considerable room for improvement.

95 B DePauw University* DePauw University 29 Web Pages Many of the categories in the PI were answered by the President s tatement and DePauw s mission statement. One thing that I noticed about the mission statement is that it was very general and without any specific proposed actions, but I did enjoy the video about the new compost stations. It is a great way to bring awareness to the situation and the initiatives taken. I also enjoyed reading about the Carbon Footprint Project, but I would like to see current examples of what they have already done with this project and their results as of now. There is a Get Involved events calendar, but there were no future events listed, although there had been some good programs that involved the outside community. The DePauw Community ervice volunteers in the community of Greencastle and I would like to see distinct examples of some of the projects DC has done in the community and on campus, but I could not find any on the website. Many of the projects and programs are student run and even though the majority of the people at the university are students, I would like to see exactly how the University gets its faculty and staff involved directly.

96 B- Dickinson College* Dickinson College 29 Web Pages Dickinson College is a leader in campus sustainability. Dr. William G. Durden, the president of Dickinson, signed the Presidents Climate Commitment in 27 that has since become a core component of the College s sustainability program. The College runs both an Office of ustainability with hired sustainability coordinators and a Center for nvironmental and ustainability ducation where a full time director was hired in 28. Dickinson College has been recognized numerous times for its innovative execution of sustainable food service initiatives. The College dining services purchase from seven local farms and producers, including a local dairy farm. In addition, the Dickinson College Organic Farm has been developed to provide produce to the college s dining services. By purchasing vegetables from the college farm at market price, dining services is saving food and transportation cost while also reinvesting more than $6,5 into the College farm in the last fiscal year. Investment priorities and shareholder engagement are two more exceptional areas of strength of the College, areas that the majority of other colleges struggle with. The College currently invests in socially screened funds, green funds, and community development funds. Additionally, a unique ocially Responsible Investment Discussion Group was formed in 27 consisting of four students, four faculty members, one alumnus, and two administrators, all of whom study socially responsible and sustainable investment.

97 D- Doane College Doane College 211 ustainability Web Pages Doane College is an impressive private, independent, coeducational college based in Nebraska. There is, however, no information available on the College's web site concerning its stainability efforts. It does provide some information on the workforce and on its policy toward sexual harassment, and the College is dedicated to the health and safety. I think that if they devote themselves to the environment the same way that they are dedicated to health and safety, it would make this College appear to be a more well-rounded institution.

98 A- ckerd College ckerd College 211 ustainability Web Pages ckerd College has taken quite a few dramatic steps toward becoming a more sustainable institution, a fact clearly evidenced by its website's abundance of information on the topic. Aside from covering just about every topic listed on the PI scoring index, ckerd provides a wealth of information on its institutional practices from the most mundane, like buying food and other products, to the more extravagant investments (like commissioning a solar energy project). While the website could use more extensive information on the College's workplace profile, more in-depth information on its landscaping practices and overall water/energy use, as well as detailed information on the College employees specifically charged with promoting and implementing sustainable practices (and their contact info, along with a management structure), the site indeed covers most of the topics of import. However, the College should make its social vision and goals more clear (even though it lists its community projects and investments in detail). Nevertheless, ckerd College is clearly dedicated to engaging in more sustainable practices and providing information on its efforts to that end. For this, ckerd College is to be commended and scored accordingly.

99 D mory and Henry College mory and Henry College 211 Web Pages In mory and Henry College s web pages, the College expresses its deep concern for the social community and respect for the environment. Many of the College s initiatives directed toward its stances on social and environmental aspects can be seen in the actions of its Appalachian Center for Community ervice, ervice Learning Leadership, and its &H Greens pecial Interest Group on campus. Despite these initiatives, mory and Henry College's website entirely lacks social and environmental reporting. The College does have a 29 Corporate Citizenship Report for its dining hall services, but the report does not encompass the reporting of the campus as a whole. In addition, the College mentions a code of conduct, yet does not have this code available online. imply adding an online version of its code of conduct would help increase its overall PI score. rin Franks Karina Gomez =Total nvironmental core, A=nvironmental ector Average core, I=nvironmental Intent, R=nvironmental Reporting, P=nvironmental Performance, =Total ocial core, A=ocial ector Average core, I=ocial Intent, R=ocial Reporting, P=ocial Performance ource of points A A 5 43% 57% I R P I R P mory and Henry College nvironmental Intent Accountability 1 4 Needs improvement College ector pecific Indicator 2 Needs substantial improvement Management 8 Needs substantial improvement Policy Needs substantial improvement The College ustainability Report Card Criteria Needs improvement Vision Good nvironmental Reporting nergy 14 Needs substantial improvement Management 63 Needs substantial improvement Materials Usage Needs substantial improvement Recycling 14 Needs substantial improvement Waste 28 Needs substantial improvement Water 7 Needs substantial improvement ocial Intent Accountability 1 4 Needs improvement Management Needs substantial improvement Policy Needs improvement ocial Demographic 2 Needs substantial improvement The College ustainability Report Card Criteria Needs substantial improvement Vision Good ocial Reporting Human Rights Needs substantial improvement Management 7 Needs substantial improvement Qualitative ocial Needs substantial improvement Quantitative ocial 42 Needs substantial improvement 99 ustainability Reporting of Top Liberal Arts Colleges (21*-211)

101 B- Franklin and Marshall College* Franklin and Marshall College 29 Web Pages Franklin and Marshall s environmental consciousness is definitely student-focused, including, for example, competitions such as Recyclemania, which resulted in approximately 3% of campus waste being recycled. The nvironmental Action Alliance promotes environmentally responsible behavior on campus as well as running green programs throughout the campus. A way to bridge the gap between students and the administration at Franklin and Marshall is with the Campus ustainability Committee; this committee comprises students, faculty, and staff who advise the College president on environmental issues on campus and in the community. The committee s most visible work is during ustainability Week; through a series of events and campaigns the Week challenges the Franklin and Marshall community to be greener. ome other interesting initiatives the campus has implemented are through food services. The dining hall operates with a tray-less policy as well as the recycling of the fryer oil in the kitchen. The school also participates in green community outreach with student involvement and school support of the astern Market program managed by a Franklin and Marshall alumni which creates a local food network that provides healthy and fresh local food to the urban neighborhoods.

Though the hi Center is new, Furman s engagement in sustainability is not. The board of trustees at Furman committed to promote sustainability over a decade ago and, in 22, the Board voted to require all new buildings and renovations to meet a minimum of LD silver certification. ix buildings are currently registered for LD certification, including Cliffs Cottage, the carbonneutral home of Furman's sustainability center that seeks a LD Platinum rating. tudents have worked hard in developing a new organic garden that will provide produce for the dining halls as well as receive compost from recyclable waste and food scraps from dining services.

All first year students are introduced to sustainability initiatives upon arrival in the residence halls. The dining services use local dairy products and most produce comes from local farmers or from the campus garden. Compost is collected for the campus garden and the college recycles cardboard, plastic, aluminum, and glass, diverting 24% of waste from the landfill.

Less transparent is the College's social sustainability policies, including a failure to provide information on the breakdown of race, age, and gender workforce demographics as well as data on other human rights topics. specially disappointing was the complete absence of the total amounts of waste (hazardous and non-hazardous) the College has produced. There is no discussion of any fines or violations received nor on challenges undoubtedly faced while implementing sustainability initiatives. hortcomings aside, Goucher College's environmental sustainability website provided ample information on many environmental sustainability initiatives. Two composting programs, an in-depth recycling program, and various alternative modes for transportation all work to make Goucher a healthier and more sustainable community. Its onsite restaurant company, Bon Appétit, is especially committed to the use of environmentally sound sourcing ingredients.

Grinnell College is engaged in the issues of sustainability through water conservation projects, sustainable landscaping techniques, and reduction of pest management. The College pays attention to small details such as the recycled content in the paper towels used in dormitories, to the recycled content in the take-out boxes used in the dining halls. ven for large scale productions such as green building, the College began a Building Material Recycling Project. The College has a program which converts the vegetable oil in the dining halls to biodiesel and is invested in buying locally grown foods, to mention just a couple of examples of the College s initiative.

Furthermore, the Gustavus Adolphus webpage provides a wide range of information detailing the environmental vision and efforts in the newest green building project and land protection. The initiative to purchase two 2.5-megawatt turbines displays the College s transition to becoming a more environmentally sustainable. However, despite these successes, Gustavus Adolphus has strides to make in providing current quantitative data of numerous topics including water usage, pesticides and environmental notice of violations. Furthermore, a more complete webpage needs to include information concerning social aspects, especially topics involving employees.

This leadership extends across the environmental spectrum from greenhouse gas reduction to preventing pollution of natural resources. The mission statement goes on to list a set of goals that the College is working towards. Hamilton has taken many steps towards practicing sustainability. For instance, in 27, Hamilton College joined the American College and University President s Climate Committee (ACUPCC). Additionally, Hamilton participated in Power hift 29, which included high school students in the conference. It also has a very informative, easy to use website called Building Dashboard that is dedicated to comparing energy and electricity consumption in different buildings of the school. It gives the perspective of dollars spent or saved, energy saved, how many miles that would be saved, etc. I haven t seen a site like this on any of the other schools that I have researched; it s reasonably useful and puts things into perspective.

111 Hampden-ydney College Hampden-ydney College 211 ustainability Web Pages Hampden-ydney College's site contained no mention of any environmental sustainability practices. Not only does it not address any related issues such as recycling, energy consumption, and water use, etc., but also it does not have a statement or vision on environmental sustainability. However, the website did contain fairly thorough information regarding the rights of employees as well as health and safety measures. Its detailed description of employee's work hours and leaves was especially commendable.

112 B Hampshire College Hampshire College 211 ustainability Web Pages Hampshire College has web pages reporting on sustainibility although it does not have a main web page solely dedicated to sustainability. The College does not state much about the amounts of renewable energy, water used, or pesticides and fertilizers used. A username and password were required in order to access some webpages. In order for this college to rank highly in terms of sustainability, there needs to be much more open-access information that is readily available to the public and a great deal more depth on the initiatives that are in place. amantha Nkala Brian Nadler =Total nvironmental core, A=nvironmental ector Average core, I=nvironmental Intent, R=nvironmental Reporting, P=nvironmental Performance, =Total ocial core, A=ocial ector Average core, I=ocial Intent, R=ocial Reporting, P=ocial Performance ource of points A A 5 46% 54% I R P I R P Hampshire College nvironmental Intent Accountability 1 4 Needs improvement College ector pecific Indicator xcellent Management Good Policy Good The College ustainability Report Card Criteria xcellent Vision Good nvironmental Reporting nergy Good Management Needs substantial improvement Materials Usage Needs substantial improvement Recycling Needs substantial improvement Waste 28 Needs substantial improvement Water Needs substantial improvement ocial Intent Accountability Good Management xcellent Policy Good ocial Demographic xcellent The College ustainability Report Card Criteria Good Vision Good ocial Reporting Human Rights Needs improvement Management 7 Needs substantial improvement Qualitative ocial Needs improvement Quantitative ocial Needs substantial improvement ustainability Reporting of Top Liberal Arts Colleges (21*-211)
113 D- Hanover College Hannover College 211 ustainability Web Pages Hannover College does not have much on its website about environmental sustainability or social responsibility. ither the Hannover College website needs updating or the College does not meet most of the sustainability criteria followed by leading liberal arts colleges. The College made an effort to state that it is moving towards becoming more "green" but has not shown any actions of movement in that direction. hawn Campas =Total nvironmental core, A=nvironmental ector Average core, I=nvironmental Intent, R=nvironmental Reporting, P=nvironmental Performance, =Total ocial core, A=ocial ector Average core, I=ocial Intent, R=ocial Reporting, P=ocial Performance ource of points A 26% 6 6 A 5 74% I R P I R P Hanover College nvironmental Intent Accountability 4 Needs substantial improvement College ector pecific Indicator 2 Needs substantial improvement Management 8 Needs substantial improvement Policy Needs substantial improvement The College ustainability Report Card Criteria 6 Needs substantial improvement Vision 1 4 Needs improvement nvironmental Reporting nergy 14 Needs substantial improvement Management 63 Needs substantial improvement Materials Usage 21 Needs substantial improvement Recycling 14 Needs substantial improvement Waste 28 Needs substantial improvement Water 7 Needs substantial improvement ocial Intent Accountability 4 Needs substantial improvement Management 1 Needs substantial improvement Policy 6 Needs substantial improvement ocial Demographic 2 Needs substantial improvement The College ustainability Report Card Criteria 1 Needs substantial improvement Vision 4 Needs substantial improvement ocial Reporting Human Rights 77 Needs substantial improvement Management 7 Needs substantial improvement Qualitative ocial Needs substantial improvement Quantitative ocial Needs substantial improvement ustainability Reporting of Top Liberal Arts Colleges (21*-211)

Mostly these are qualitative accounts with precious few data. This seems a little surprising considering the intensely quantitative nature of a Harvey Mudd education. The main quantitative and substantive contribution is a detailed consultant s report on tuning up campus buildings.

115 B Haverford College* Haverford College 29 Web Pages The Haverford ustainability program is centered on its Committee for nvironmental Responsibility. This committee was founded on the socially responsible principles of the college. On the website it states, CR has a deep concern and respect for all communities of which it is a part, both social and ecological. Our mission, therefore, is to educate our community towards an awareness of global concerns and to set a positive example of forward thinking, environmental stewardship for our campus and for other colleges to follow. In order to do this, CR works to ensure that environmental concern is an integral part of Haverford College s daily life informing our curriculum, administrative decisions and maintenance of facilities and grounds. Currently, Haverford is making an attempt to reach 1% wind power as its source of energy. The student organization Food Fight is an active participant in Haverford sustainability. The organization seeks to protect the environment and human health through the prevention of eco-friendly, tasty food on campus. They work to re-establish a connection between people and their food, educate the Haverford community about food related issues, and promote the purchasing of local and sustainable foods.

116 C+ Hendrix College Hendrix College 211 ustainability Web Pages Hendrix College has made some steps towards formal sustainability reporting, but does not offer a detailed discussion of many of its programs online. An extremely thorough breakdown of water and electricity usage of all buildings at the college is provided, but the information is not discussed or interpreted. The college has implemented many innovative sustainability programs, such as a free bike rental shop, purchasing of electric vehicles, and installation of geothermal heating in its dorms. Detailed information on these activities could increase Hendrix's score in several areas.in general, Hendrix simply does not appear to have formalized the sustainability initiative and reporting process. Coordination and action among the administration, students, faculty, and staff on the ustainability Committee should be used to advance Hendrix's sustainability reporting to a more complete level. rin Franks =Total nvironmental core, A=nvironmental ector Average core, I=nvironmental Intent, R=nvironmental Reporting, P=nvironmental Performance, =Total ocial core, A=ocial ector Average core, I=ocial Intent, R=ocial Reporting, P=ocial Performance ource of points 59 A A 5 58% 42% I R P I R P Hendrix College nvironmental Intent Accountability xcellent College ector pecific Indicator xcellent Management Needs improvement Policy Good The College ustainability Report Card Criteria Good Vision Good nvironmental Reporting nergy Needs improvement Management Needs substantial improvement Materials Usage Needs substantial improvement Recycling Needs substantial improvement Waste Needs substantial improvement Water Good ocial Intent Accountability 1 4 Needs improvement Management Needs substantial improvement Policy Needs substantial improvement ocial Demographic 2 Needs substantial improvement The College ustainability Report Card Criteria Needs substantial improvement Vision 4 Needs substantial improvement ocial Reporting Human Rights Needs substantial improvement Management 7 Needs substantial improvement Qualitative ocial Needs improvement Quantitative ocial Needs substantial improvement ustainability Reporting of Top Liberal Arts Colleges (21*-211)
117 D- Hillsdale College Hillsdale College 211 ustainability Web Pages Hillsdale College does not discuss the environment at all on its website; in fact, searching its web pages for "environment" produces only an essay deriding environmental education as "indoctrination of children" based on "bias" and "myths." Other articles published in a magazine covering lectures by Hillsdale professors dismiss climate change as unrelated to human activities and suggest that acid rain is not a problem. While these may represent only the opinions of professors at the College, the complete silence on environmental issues throughout the rest of the website suggests that Hillsdale does not consider environmental issues to be a priority. Hillsdale's website lacks sufficient information about its employees, and materials aimed at faculty and staff require a login to view and are not available to the general public. Hillsdale does support volunteer activities and encourages students to give back to the community. However, the lack of information regarding all other social and environmental issues means that Hillsdale College scores poorly.

However, the site fails to provide any detailed description on the outcome of the programs and it does not set an explicit goal in any of these areas. The site also tends to ignore topics about employees, their working hours, free unionization, anti-bribery and anti-corruption policies or other policies for employees, which lowers the College's PI score.

Though there is no dedicated sustainability report, the Creation Care web pages are fairly comprehensive in nature and covered most important environmental issues. There is little quantitative data, but Houghton College appears to have a quite strong environmental education program. It was apparent that the college has collaborated with many prominent Christian environmental organizations, and provided many resources on its web pages for independent study. Though a Code of Conduct is available on the website, there is minimal reporting on workers rights and conditions. Houghton highlighted many social programs on its website, all of which were based on the Christian values strongly emphasized by the College.

122 Juniata College Juniata College 21 ustainability Web Pages Juniata College has a strong sustainability plan and has already taken action to make its policies and practices reflective of its formal pledge to become more sustainable. Its website helps illustrate what it has accomplished, as well as providing plans for future development toward the College's stated goals. The site offers a section devoted to information on topics ranging from student involvement and environmental education to the College's endowment practices to green building and recycling. All of this is very encouraging, however, Juniata needs to provide more information about its resource consumption and how it plans to track and diminish, specifically, its energy and water use year over year. Publishing a formal report to this end would add more credibility to the College's admirable first steps in the right direction. Also, the site should make sustainability prominent (on a main page of the website) and summarize its social and employment policies as a major facet of its sustainable program. hawn Campas Andrew Greenfield =Total nvironmental core, A=nvironmental ector Average core, I=nvironmental Intent, R=nvironmental Reporting, P=nvironmental Performance, =Total ocial core, A=ocial ector Average core, I=ocial Intent, R=ocial Reporting, P=ocial Performance ource of points A A 5 6% 4% I R P I R P Juniata College nvironmental Intent Accountability 3 4 xcellent College ector pecific Indicator Good Management 2 8 Needs improvement Policy Needs improvement The College ustainability Report Card Criteria xcellent Vision Good nvironmental Reporting nergy 14 Needs substantial improvement Management Needs substantial improvement Materials Usage Needs substantial improvement Recycling Needs substantial improvement Waste Needs substantial improvement Water 7 Needs substantial improvement ocial Intent Accountability Good Management Needs substantial improvement Policy 6 Needs substantial improvement ocial Demographic 2 Needs substantial improvement The College ustainability Report Card Criteria Needs improvement Vision 4 Needs substantial improvement ocial Reporting Human Rights Needs substantial improvement Management 7 Needs substantial improvement Qualitative ocial Needs substantial improvement Quantitative ocial 42 Needs substantial improvement ustainability Reporting of Top Liberal Arts Colleges (21*-211)

Furthermore, Kenyon College s web pages do not mention the importance of climate change mitigation, habitat conservation, or the preservation of biodiversity. everal other pressing environmental and social issues are also ignored in the College s sustainability reporting.

Other partners in the College s mission are the Campus ustainability Committee, the Office of Plant Operations, and the Department of Facilities Planning and Construction. Lafayette s dining services are provided through odexo. The College s commitment to sustainability includes composting, biodegradable and compostable products, organic foods, local growers, and green waste management. This assists Lafayette in reducing its impact on the environment. Lafayette buys food from local vendors such as ysco Central, Balford Farms and others. It also utilizes local in-season produce such as mushrooms, corn, apples, and tomatoes, and offers fair trade and organic coffee, practices cook to order techniques, and provides organic and natural produce. Green packaging is made available at the dining halls, including green-ware cups that are made from corn starch, compostable to-go containers, and compostable trash bags.

Lewis and Clark has very detailed employee policies which prevent harassment and discrimination of most kinds. The University's most notable policies deal with "green buildings", or buildings which focus on being environmentally friendly. However, there are many topics in Lewis and Clark's sustainability policy which are not present. Most notably, wastes of all kinds (office, food, liquid etc.) are not mentioned; it is impossible to determine how Lewis and Clark calculates and manages its waste. Overall, Lewis and Clark seems very ambitious in its aims to improve its sustainability, especially when it comes to renewable energy and energy conservation. aul Vasquez Gaudensia Kalabamu =Total nvironmental core, A=nvironmental ector Average core, I=nvironmental Intent, R=nvironmental Reporting, P=nvironmental Performance, =Total ocial core, A=ocial ector Average core, I=ocial Intent, R=ocial Reporting, P=ocial Performance ource of points A A 5 37% 63% I R P I R P Lewis & Clark College nvironmental Intent Accountability Good College ector pecific Indicator 2 Needs substantial improvement Management 2 8 Needs improvement Policy Needs improvement The College ustainability Report Card Criteria Good Vision 3 4 xcellent nvironmental Reporting nergy Needs improvement Management Needs substantial improvement Materials Usage 21 Needs substantial improvement Recycling 14 Needs substantial improvement Waste 28 Needs substantial improvement Water 7 Needs substantial improvement ocial Intent Accountability xcellent Management xcellent Policy Needs improvement ocial Demographic xcellent The College ustainability Report Card Criteria Good Vision Good ocial Reporting Human Rights Needs substantial improvement Management 7 Needs substantial improvement Qualitative ocial Needs substantial improvement Quantitative ocial Needs substantial improvement ustainability Reporting of Top Liberal Arts Colleges (21*-211)

Aside from such omissions Linfield has quite a lot of web pages on sustainability and other linked pages, such as sustainability reports by the ACUPCC, with additional detail. The College mentions a lot about how much it is dedicated to being more sustainable, but it fails to give quantitative information about initiatives, totals, or numerical goals.

It has already reduced its emissions by over 15 percent since 23 through a $1.5 million investment allocated towards improving the school s overall energy efficiency. The College views environmental responsibility as a campus-wide commitment, bestowing awards to community members who have made especially large strides towards helping the school in becoming more green. It is likely that by continuing to make environmental sustainability an investment priority, Luther College will reach its set-out sustainability goals. Possible suggestions include: increasing availability of quantitative information, online documentation of challenges to campus sustainability, and increasing transparency of social sustainability practices.

131 C+ Lycoming College Lycoming College 211 ustainability Web Pages Lycoming College demonstrates ambition and optimism in regards to its sustainability goals. There are clear qualitative and quantitative data demonstrating the improvements made with respect to energy conservation and water usage. The charts and numerical evidence also provide data from previous years, making it easier to see the improvements. In addition, the College utilizes several alternative sources of energy. A large portion of the Lycoming s points on the PI are generated from its emphasis on green purchasing and sustainable practices in recycling, and in its dining services. The College posts an "nviromental Audit of Lycoming College" which is a student made and faculty supervised handbook that includes data comparing recent energy use, utility costs, water, solid waste, natural gas consumption, and recycling efforts. Oddly, the website omits the environmental and social visionary statments and general positive portrayal of its efforts that normally preceed such a document (and for most colleges, generate the majority of PI points). In fact, the website does not have a webpage solely for sustainability or environmental concerns. aul Vasquez Diana Ortiz =Total nvironmental core, A=nvironmental ector Average core, I=nvironmental Intent, R=nvironmental Reporting, P=nvironmental Performance, =Total ocial core, A=ocial ector Average core, I=ocial Intent, R=ocial Reporting, P=ocial Performance ource of points A A 5 58% 42% I R P I R P Lycoming College nvironmental Intent Accountability 4 Needs substantial improvement College ector pecific Indicator xcellent Management 2 8 Needs improvement Policy Good The College ustainability Report Card Criteria xcellent Vision 4 Needs substantial improvement nvironmental Reporting nergy Needs improvement Management Needs substantial improvement Materials Usage Needs substantial improvement Recycling Needs improvement Waste Needs substantial improvement Water Good ocial Intent Accountability 1 4 Needs improvement Management Needs improvement Policy Needs substantial improvement ocial Demographic Good The College ustainability Report Card Criteria Needs improvement Vision 1 4 Needs improvement ocial Reporting Human Rights Needs substantial improvement Management 7 Needs substantial improvement Qualitative ocial Needs improvement Quantitative ocial 42 Needs substantial improvement ustainability Reporting of Top Liberal Arts Colleges (21*-211)

The discussion of best practices at peer institutions seems to be the most effective component of the report. tudents are encouraged to get involved with the community through volunteering in community development and environmental education. The website has no information on human rights of the employees. Macalester College reported to Greenreportcard.org several statistics that were not on its website, and therefore not considered by the PI. First, that 6% of the college uses "green seal" cleaning products. econd, that in 27, its GHG emissions reached 19,35 metric tons of CO2, 1.33 metric tons of CO2 per student. Finally, Macalester should include on its website reference to its electronics recycling program that accepts batteries, cell phones, computers, light bulbs, and printer cartridges. Jaclyn T.

Through lunch seminars with lectures about energy conservation, the administration, the student body, and community are educated in pressing environmental issues. Twenty percent of the college s total waste is composted and dining halls purchase local food and recycle the waste at composting sites, later used as fertilizer. The Franklin nvironmental Center is LD platinum certified and is a sustainable and completely green building. College vehicles run on biodiesel and Zipcars are available to students.

Most of the College's involvement in campus awareness is provided through the media coverage of events and messages in The Purple and White tudent Newspaper. This source of communication allows students to see the major issues and witness the several ways that student clubs have tried to portray the them. It is impressive that the newspaper rewards those who have been active in proposing a greener campus.

In terms of the PI, Moravian College is lacking and needs to put more effort into releasing more information to the public. At the same time, the College seems very committed to creating a supportive environment for students and faculty and has many programs in place to help everyone involved in the College.

In addition, the entirety of employee handbooks and College codes can be found on the website. Because of this, Morehouse College scores well in regards to employee training, compensation, non-discrimination and other employee related information.

There is a new program to minimize energy consumption. Within this program students will pledge to enable energy saving features on their computers. The school purchased green energy to run all student computers for a year. The school also extends edge to faculty and staff. This program also expands into other energy saving techniques broadening their focus to a larger community. There is also a lot of advice on recycling, but all presented in a fairly disorganized way. The use of fertilizer is mentioned, but only to compare the difference between organic compost and organic fertilizer treatments.

143 B Oberlin College* Oberlin College ustainability Report 29 Web Pages Oberlin College provides a campus climate that is willing to discuss, create, and implement sustainability and sustainable practices. Oberlin has made it clear that it is dedicated to sustainability not only in ideology but in ways that run deeper, through the school s administration, student involvement, building planning and academic offerings. For students there are a number of resources available to be active in maintaining green practices on campus, such as volunteering on George Jones Farm and Nature Preserve on Oberlin s campus, from which fresh fruits and vegetables are used in the dining hall s Farm to Fork program. This great program budgets a significant percentage of dining hall purchases for local foods that students can enjoy. Another option for students is the Green DG Fund, which provides funding for environmentally conscious and motivated projects proposed by Oberlin students. This program offers two kinds of funds; an efficiency loan, which is paid back not with money but rather by the monetary savings provided by the project and a sustainability grant, which requires no payback at all. tudents are also offered housing with sustainable themes as well as the student-run Oberlin tudent Cooperative Association, which provides cooperative student housing and dining. The administration also provides the students with a commitment to have all new buildings on campus align with the U.. Green Building Council s Leadership in nvironmental Design (LD) silver standard. This will add to the preexisting sustainable buildings and systems on the campus, such as the Living Machine Wastewater Treatment ystem, and the Adam Joseph Lewis Center for nvironmental tudies. Oberlin has made it clear that it is dedicated to sustainability not only in ideology, but in ways that run deeper, through the school s administration, student involvement, building planning and academic offerings.

145 C+ Ohio Wesleyan University Ohio Wesleyan University 211 ustainability Web Pages Ohio Wesleyan University (OWU) is committed to making serious strides towards campus sustainability. As of March 21, the university hired its first nergy Conservation and ustainability Coordinator through a tate of Ohio nergy and Conservation Block Grant awarded to OWU last June. The coordinator will be responsible for developing an nergy Conservation and ustainability Action Plan for Ohio Wesleyan. In addition, he will lead campus efforts in developing an energy sustainability plan that would be consistent with the goals of the President s Climate Commitment; as well as become a sustainability liaison with campus groups and community members. To provide the public with an accurate portrait of OWU s sustainability efforts, the coordinator should organize environmental and social responsibility information onto one easy accessible sustainability page. This would not only facilitate reporting, but also improve the school s overall green image by making OWU s improvements more visible to the public. OWU s grade on the 211 Green Report Card is a B- and an improvement from last year s overall performance, but because this information doesn't appear on OW's website, we don't use it for our analysis. This, by the way, is a common internal problem with many colleges; they diligently fill out the GreenReportCard.com questionnaire, but don't go to the extra trouble of posting it or the information it contains to their own websites.

148 B- Presbyterian College Presbyterian College 211 ustainability Web Pages Presbyterian College s greenhose website provides descriptions of green projects and their respective student contacts. Although the sustainability website provides a link to Green Report Card, Presbyterian College has yet to generate its own report on the site. The College employs a progressive food service team dedicated to providing all local and organic produce whenever possible. In addition, dining halls use recycled napkins and water saving dish washing equipment. However, this information is only available through the food service website and fails to appear on the greenhose website.

The College's nvironmental ustainability Proposal contains very specific objectives as well as plausible strategies to fulfill them; it addresses a variety of issues including facilities and operations as well as community outreach. Compared to other colleges, it has a lot of third-party validation and has received many grants for environmental sustainability initiatives. Randolph College also engages in energy saving practices that include students, faculty, local community, as well as other colleges. It deserves credit for its extensive efforts to further its goal. The only flaw I found was its lack of specific quantitative or numerical data in terms of investment and expenses and its lack of a clear mission statement or environmental statement. I would have been helpful it the site had included a sustainability organizational structure or contact persons.

Despite the fact that it has won numerous awards for environmental sustainability (such as the Urban Forestry Award), the website lacks specific information about the College's efforts.there was not even a section on environmental sustainability, only news clips scattered here and there. No environmental policy or statement was officially made, and there seemed to be no organization specifically organized to address sustainability issues (thus, no contact person). One impressive aspect, however, was the involvement of students in the environmental campaign. There was a link to a student environmental group (A) web site, which detailed environmental projects, news, and and related topics. This website was more helpful than the College's official site in identifying what efforts were being made to resolve certain environmental issues. There is a relatively detailed section on the College's policy on health and safety, as well as policies for the fair treatment of employees.

Though it has not signed onto the Presidents Climate Commitment, it has adopted its own similar commitment involving reducing greenhouse gas emissions by a set target date. The college currently has numerous programs in place to meet these targets and shrink its carbon footprint. A unique program in place at kidmore is its co-reps program, involving students from each residence hall acting as sustainability advisors to the other students and promoting environmentally friendly habits and events. On kidmore s sustainability website, students can read about the different habits they can adopt to live a more environmentally responsible life. vents throughout the year, including kidmore Unplugged," a residence hall competition to achieve the highest energy savings, also encourage student involvement and promote environmental awareness. The college is also committed to its North Woods program that aims to preserve the natural ecosystem for study and recreational purposes. Instead of developing this land, kidmore pledges to protect 2 acres through. However, the kidmore College web pages fail to include any quantitative data on energy use, water use, or waste disposed of and recycled. To improve its score, more past and current data need to be analyzed and published on the college s web pages. While kidmore is planning to enact more sustainability initiatives, more work needs to be done to set specific goals and targets.

Nevertheless, the College's recent strategic plan includes enacting sustainable practices; over the course of the next decade, it is a prominent feature in one of the appointed committee's charge. t.

The University is a recent members of TAR and claims to have spent 21 collecting data for its first sustainability audit, although no data attesting to this could be found. There was no mention of gender, race, and age distribution in the workforce. pecific employee incident reports were also missing. Information on ways the University has improved its sustainability efforts as well as the challenges and impediments faced while trying to implement sustainable policies were missing from the website.

173 C- University of Richmond* University of Richmond 29 Web Pages Richmond University has been very vocal about its commitment to sustainability, signing both the Presidents Climate Commitment and the Talloires Declaration. Beyond simply talking about sustainability, the university has taken action to promote the sustainability of its campus. In 23, the university built its first LD certified building and in the last few years all new buildings have been LD certified, while all major renovations have focused on sustainable design strategies. In keeping with these sustainable design strategies, the University has made a significant investment in reducing its power and water consumption, installing new more efficient equipment over the last several years. Indeed in almost every area imaginable, from transportation to dining, Richmond has several sustainability initiatives in place with more on the way. The sheer number of sustainability initiatives at Richmond is impressive, however it is hard to judge how effective these initiative are because the university publishes very little quantitative data on its website. The data that can be found rarely have a frame of reference making it impossible to tell how much of a difference the initiatives are making. As a result there is a possibility that Richmond is doing a better job making its campus sustainable than is indicated by our analysis, because the lack of data available has made it difficult to judge the true impact of many of Richmond s initiatives.

175 D U Naval Academy* United tates Naval Academy 29 Web Pages The United tates Naval Academy environmental policy focuses largely on complying with the Federal, tate, and local environmental regulations, as well as the Navy regulations. In order to meet regulations, the Naval Academy has various programs to deal with issues including, but not limited to water, air, hazardous waste, recycling, and pollution prevention. Though it has not reported failing to meet these regulations, the Naval Academy has not detailed any statistical improvements that it has made over the years. Additionally, though some green programs are listed, detailed description and quantitative data are not available, making it difficult to know how well the Naval Academy compares to its peer institutions. Though its grade in this publication may be lower than most other colleges, it is safe to assume that the Naval Academy has met, if not exceeded, Federal standards and is mindful of its impact on the environment.

176 C+ Vassar College* Vassar College 29 Web Pages Vassar College has a Committee focused on sustainability and committed to making the college a greener place. Vassar is extremely focused on creating greener buildings because it is one of the most proactive things that it can do to reduce its energy consumption. tudents have taken a major role in many of the environmental projects on campus, including switching from incandescent light bulbs to compact fluorescent ones. Many of the vehicles on campus use bio-diesel fuel and the use of pesticide and herbicide on campus has been dramatically reduced. The College has also focused on waste reduction; the wastes from construction and from food leftovers are both being recycled. Overall, the sustainability committee is continuing to work on instituting a sustainability policy that would cover issues impacting most aspects of the school, and would cover recycling, purchasing, building and construction, composting, education, energy consumption, and an increase in the patronage of local food vendors. The president provides strong leadership to prioritize issues around sustainability. Jaleesa D.

The administration has signed onto the Talloires Declaration, the President s Climate Commitment, and the Virginia nvironmental xcellence Program at an entry (2) level. The University has also had an nvironmental Audit and two greenhouse gas audits, a sign it is determined to find the areas in which it can improve. With policies that dictate that all future buildings be built to LD certified standards and that only nergy tar rated appliances be purchased, the University has implemented the policies that will ensure environmental friendliness in the future. At the present, the University has already started to install motion sensor lights and lowflow water taps among other energy conservation devices and regulations, such as temperature regulation on heating and cooling systems. Washington and Lee has taken part in RecycleMania and is committed not only to recycling waste products, but also to purchasing recycled goods and composting. teps have also been taken toward using more organic foods in the dining halls; a Campus Garden was started in 28 to supply food directly to the dining hall, supplemented by outside purchasing of organic foods when it is feasible. upport for environmentally friendly programs extends past just the administration and has also taken root in the Washington and Lee student body. The nvironmental Law ociety raises public awareness of the law s impact on the environment; the tudent nvironmental Action League promotes environmental issues throughout the college and surrounding community; and the Blue Bike Program encourages students to use bikes rather than cars. In addition to practical experience gained from these programs, students can also take advantage of the University s interdisciplinary environmental studies program.

Michael Roth, the president of the university, enthusiastically agreed to sign the American College and University Presidents Climate Commitment and is dedicated to meeting the University targets of greenhouse gas reduction. The campus nvironmental Organizers Network (ON) takes responsibility for student initiatives on campus, including taking waste from the dining halls and bringing it to the compost tubs at the Long Lane Farm, significantly reducing the amount of waste headed for the landfill. Wesleyan also plans to install 2-kW of solar panels on the Freeman Athletic Center roof and other roofs around campus, as well as improving energy efficiency. Furthermore, the College s web pages include numerous recommendations for students to reduce their carbon footprint and waste, from not buying bottled water to driving more efficiently. To improve its environmental and social sustainability rating in our analysis, Wesleyan needs to include more quantitative data that show how the College s current and past initiatives are working to reduce energy use, water consumption, and waste disposal.

183 D- Westmont College Westmont College 21 ustainability Web Pages Westmont College's website has little information on any initiatives toward environmental sustainability. The College does identify a carpool program, but apart from that has no statistics, metrics, information on initiatives, or any other form of information regarding its relationship to the environment. The College writes extensively about its relationship to the Christian community, however provides little to no information about any social initiatives it might or might not have. The College states that it supports diversity, but there is no information on the diversity of the work force. The College has a clear and extensive policy against sexual harassment, but there is no clear statement against discrimination on the basis of age, sex, or race.

185 C- Whitman College* Whitman College 211 ustainability Web Pages Whitman College had many web pages devoted to campus sustainability efforts, including different initiatives and steps taken to promote a greener campus. There is also an included wiki with sustainability info, however, it is limited to students only for the most part. However, many topics remain sorely lacking, or very obscure, and quantitative data is few and far between.

186 B Whittier College Whittier College 211 ustainability Web Pages Whittier College has taken the initial steps towards sustainable practices throughout its campus. Its recent pledge to The American College and University Presidents' Climate Commitment demonstrates its dedication to be part of a nationally unified movement to combat global warming and environmental destruction. Furthermore, the campus' community demonstrates great student involvement in social and educational outreach to the greater Los Angeles region. However, the current web pages that describe the campus-wide recycling efforts and purchasing of nergy tar appliances are not enough. The College web pages lack qualitative information on waste removal, energy usage, green space, and workforce characteristics, among other things.

188 A+ Williams College* Williams College 29 Web Pages Williams College has successfully deferred part of its energy costs with the $92,67 grant used for renewable energy. The live feed on the Williams website of the energy consumption in conjunction with diagrams and explanatory pictures was a useful resource in demonstrating Williams commitment to decreased energy consumption. The data show that Williams energy costs have declined, and there was overall improvement in reducing greenhouse gas emissions, especially carbon dioxide. There was ample reporting on waste production and recycling but not much information on how that wastewater was recycled. The use of graphs and pie charts was helpful in getting a visual representation of William s environmental progress. There was abundant information on social initiatives taken to improve community development and education and environmental awareness, but a lack of data on human rights measures. There was no discussion nor were there any initiatives to address age, gender, or racial/ethnic distribution in the workforce and Williams failed to indicate the total number of employee incidents, injuries, or annual turnover rate. Information on the health and safety citations or fines was unavailable. There was only limited information on pesticide, fertilizer, and land use. The total amount of hazardous waste released was unreported. The water usage data used were outdated. There was no information on Williams investment and shareholder practice, nor any information about how Williams chose its environmental procedures, initiatives, or investment priorities. A total of $291, was spent on purchasing food locally. This was reported to greenreportcard.org but is not currently listed on the Williams College website.

190 C Wofford College Wofford College 211 ustainability Web Pages The main page of Wofford College offers substantial material pertaining to its sustainability report. Wofford's commitment to campus-wide green initiatives is highlighted in its "Annual Green Report" that it has published in the past two years. This report summarizes the various efforts undertaken by the school to reduce its carbon footprint, as well as underlying its environmental policy. As a signatory to the American College & University Presidents Climate Commitment (PCC), Wofford gathers extensive data on its greenhouse gas inventories, and evaluates steps to mitigate such emissions. It has been listed among the top "green colleges" in outh Carolina for its environmentally responsible school policies.despite its sustainable policies, Wofford College fails to provide quantitative measurements for most criteria measured in the Pacific ustainability Index. Additionally, it does not address many of the criteria for environmental and social qualitative data. Nevertheless, Wofford College received many points in the PI for its clear commitment to environmental and social issues.
