In accordance with the official University Sustainability Policy: The Sustainability Coordinator shall consult with the University Sustainability Committee to develop indicators and measures of success in the implementation of the principles outlined in this policy in consultation with appropriate faculty, staff, students, and experts in the broader community. As such, each stakeholder is required to review their area and to submit a measurable, achievable sustainability goal for their department. These goals are meant to encourage progress and work towards a more sustainable Baylor, thus there is no penalty for goals not met.
