The Sustainability Task Force, convened in March 2007 by Vice President Terry Clapacs, was charged with assessing the current state of sustainability of the IUB campus, developing a set of campus sustainability indicators, identifying key areas of concern, and establishing a framework for a long-term sustainability plan.
This report is the product of that six-month effort. It represents an ambitious plan for addressing broad issues of campus sustainability, including academic initiatives, campus energy use, environmental quality and land use, resource use and recycling, transportation, food, and the built environment.
