See the research inventory attached.
A brief description of the methodology the institution followed to complete the research inventory:
Went to each college (Kogod School of Business, College of Arts and Sciences, School of International Service, School of Professional and Extended Studies, School of Public Affairs) to ask how many total faculty were involved in research in the 18/19 academic year.
The Office of Sustainability sent a survey to all active faculty in Nov 2019 asking if their research was focused on or inclusive of sustainability using the STARS definitions. This survey also included the data gathering for academic courses related to or focused on sustainability. The data in the inventory is self-reported by faculty.
Washington College of Law was excluded from this inventory.
