A brief description of the methodology the institution followed to complete the course inventory:
First, the Provost, Bill Throop, and the Sustainability Director, Aaron Witham categorized all courses offered in Fiscal Year 2013 by reading course descriptions. For courses that did not clearly belong to a category, they reached out to individual faculty members and asked them to explain a course's relation to sustainability, if there was one.
After the initial list was constructed, the provost and sustainability director brought the list to the Campus Sustainability Council (which consists of three faculty members, two students, and two staff in addition to the provost and sustainability director). The council met to discuss the definitions outlined in STARS 2.0, and then were given the list of courses to fact check. After revisions were made by the council, the council voted to approve the list for submission to STARS.
