A brief description of the methodology the institution followed to complete the research inventory:
A sustainability course and research inventory electronic form was created to allow faculty to report their courses and research for the inventory. The sustainability research definition in the Technical Manual was used. Office of Sustainability representatives shared information about the inventory process and requested submissions via email and virtual meetings (e.g., department meetings, school faculty meetings). The research inventory from the previous STARS report was reviewed and updated. The final list of faculty doing sustainability research was sent to each department chair for review.
Tenure, Tenure Track and Continuing Track faculty were included as researchers.
