A brief description of the methodology the institution followed to complete the research inventory (including the types of faculty and staff included as researchers):
In 2013, all of the department chairs were contacted by the Office of Sustainability, asking who in their department were conducting "sustainability-related" and "sustainability-focused" research. Once this list of potential candidates was known, we contacted individual faculty. In 2014, for STARS 2.0, new faculty were analyzed through the same method. And in 2018, for STARS 2.1, course offerings for the previous year were reviewed and research affirmed by faculty.
