The Campus Sustainability Advisory Board (CSAB) is a roughly forty member body that consists of a faculty and staff co-chair, the staff and faculty co-chairs of each of the seven Working Groups, and representatives from across the campus, including representatives from the Bloomington Faculty Council, Bloomington Professional Council, IU Student Association, Residence Hall Association, Athletics, and a number of administrative departments. The mission of the Campus Sustainability Advisory Board is to provide broad-based academic and operational support for Indiana University’s Office of Sustainability. The Office seeks to develop a broad, interdisciplinary academic and operational program that represents a systematic institutional effort to address large-scale issues of human-environment interaction on a local, regional, and global scale, as developed in the January 2008 Campus Sustainability Report.
