IL-52: Sustainability-Equity Coordination

n institution earns 1 bonus point when it has at least one formal entity or mechanism (e.g., a community of practice, committee, center, office, task force, or clearinghouse) that brings together staff with formal sustainability responsibilities and staff with formal equity and social justice responsibilities for purposes of joint coordination and planning. 

This might include, for example, a representative from the diversity, equity, and inclusion (DEI) office serving on the institution’s sustainability committee, a representative from the sustainability office serving on the institution’s DEI committee, or another regular mechanism for collaboration between the two offices.
