A brief description of the methodology the institution followed to complete the research inventory (including the types of faculty and staff included as researchers):
Analysis of faculty research descriptions. Office of Institutional Research Assessment (OIRA) provided data on total numbers at institution. In addition to 78 faculty listed in our environmental sustainability inventory, we have faculty at the centers for aging, disability studies, policy studies, and community geography, and cultural foundations of education, which pioneered inclusive education in America.
