A brief description of how and when the cultural assessment(s) were developed and/or adopted:
The Sustainability Survey is sent to all members of the UNO community asking questions pertaining to sustainability awareness, general familiarity, knowledge, and self-reported behavior. In addition, the survey is used to gauge support about the direction the campus community would like to see happen on campus in regards to sustainability.
The results of the survey are tabulated to determine UNO's Sustainability Index. The Sustainability Master Plan has a goal to have our Sustainability Index be 75% by 2025.
Last survey was conducted in 2016. Next one is in February 2019.
