A brief description of when and why the GHG emissions baseline was adopted:
The ACUPCC directive fell under the auspices of the Mills College Sustainability Committee, formed in 2007 and made up of students, faculty and administration. One of the students on the committee took on the GHG inventory as her senior thesis. Two staff members, the recycling manager and architectural assistant, assisted in data collection and advised on the process. Access to utility, waste, air travel, and commuting data farther back than FY2008 was limited.
Part 1. Reduction in GHG emissions per person

Total full-time equivalent student enrollment | 1,229 | 1,406 |
Full-time equivalent of employees | 336 | 410 |
Full-time equivalent of students enrolled exclusively in distance education | 9 | 0 |
Weighted Campus Users | 1,373.25 | 1,512 |
