A brief description of the methodology the institution followed to complete the course inventory:
• Courses on or related to sustainability have been identified by department and made publicly available via the Go Green website: http://www.fredonia.edu/gogreen/academics.asp. However, due to transitions in leadership and current reassessment of the standards for sustainability courses, this site is not currently being updated.
• Methodology: Sustainability courses were identified by academics committee members, faculty members and departments (in response to listserv and other email queries) and students who enrolled in relevant courses.
• The SUNY Fredonia Academics in Sustainability Committee is currently in the midst of a year-long process of reviewing and rewriting our standards for sustainability-related and sustainability-focused courses (a foundation for which is being adopted from the University of Oregon’s Office of Sustainability). The review process includes improvements to the campus-wide identification and tracking of these courses. The information included in this report reflects our best estimate at the current time, based on the information gathered through the above methods.
