There were two open ended questions that asked: "what are some sustainability related initiatives that you would like to see on OSU's campus?" and "what additional information would you like to know OSU to know about your thoughts on sustainability?" Data collection yielded 604 responses, with 582 in the final data set. A total of 588 open-ended comments were recorded over the two questions. After removing comments like "n/a" or "no," 496 open-ended comments were used for qualitative analysis.
