Excerpt from the Request for Proposals 2010-11 sent to faculty to develop new courses around issues of sustainability:
The Parsons Committee on Sustainability has been charged with:

> developing a Sustainable Design minor

Preference will be given to courses that service not-just-majors in distinct BFA programs. Also desirable are proposals for courses that collaborate with faculty from divisions outside Parsons.
