No
A brief description of how the institution engages in public policy advocacy for sustainability at the municipal/local level, including the issues, legislation, and ordinances for or against which the institution has advocated:
The university has a somewhat adversarial relationship with both the legislature and the municipal government.

Government officials often utilize our experts to help with legislation, task forces and planning for the future.
