STARS v2.0

Saint Louis University
EN-14: Participation in Public Policy

Status Score Responsible Party
-- 0.00 / 2.00 David Webb
Director
Emerson Leadership Institute

Criteria

Institution advocates for national, state/provincial, or local public policies that support campus sustainability or that otherwise advance sustainability.  

The policy advocacy must be done by the institution, not by students or a student group. This credit acknowledges institutions that advocate for policy changes and legislation to advance sustainability broadly. Advocacy efforts that are made exclusively to advance the institution's interests or projects may not be counted. For example, advocating for government funding for campus sustainability may be counted, whereas lobbying for the institution to receive funds that have already been appropriated may not.


Applicability

This credit applies to all institutions.


Scoring
