The website URL where information about the institution’s waste reduction initiatives is available:
The following activities have been contributing to the waste reduction at Dominican: limited printing to students; double-sided printing capability for most printers; an informal program to exchange materials among the University staff; and the adoption of a paperless strategy for forms, instructions, class calendars, schedules, and catalogs; a recycling program for the entire campus (excluding the dining hall); residence halls move-out waste reduction (donation of unwanted items to local charities); and an on-site green waste composting system.
The timeframe for the Baseline Year is Dec 05 to Nov 06.
The Weight of Material disposed as garbage in 2005 was computed as follow:
For the timeframe of Dec 05 to Mar 06 - the weight of materials disposed as garbage was estimated using a trendline based on 5 years worth of data. And, for the timeframe of April 06 to Nov 06 - the weight of the materials disposed as garbage is the actual data from the sanitation company.
The Campus Users figure for the baseline year is the average number of students per semester in the 2005-2006 academic year plus the number of faculty and staff in the FY2005-06; and for the performance year, the campus users figure is the average number of students per semester in the 2010-2011 academic year plus the number of faculty and staff in the FY2010-11.
The on-campus residents figure was calculated using the same methodology (average number of on-campus residents per semester in the academic year) for both baseline and performance year.
