Strategic Plan for Inclusive Excellence: https://diversity.louisiana.edu/grow/strategic-plan

The University will continuously improve its efforts to protect, preserve, and manage the natural resources and built environment within its domain for future generations. Furthermore, principles of sustainability will be intimately incorporated into essential institutional planning, operations management, and course curricula in a participatory manner that includes the varied disciplines and perspectives necessary to create a resilient institutional framework built on a culture of sustainability.

Sustainability Policy: https://sustainability.louisiana.edu/sites/sustainability/files/Official%20University%20Sustainability%20Policy.pdf

Development that meets the needs of the present without compromising the ability of future generations to meet their needs. A sustainable university should further acknowledge the need for thriving social-ecological systems that flourish rather than simply exist. It should support activities that are socially, economically, and environmentally conscientious. It should employ techniques based on long-term results that continuously evolve in order to protect and preserve resources. This includes reducing the university's impact on the natural environment, identifying resources that are valuable to the campus community, and establishing methods to protect those resources.
