Does the institution have a sustainability plan that meets the criteria for this credit?:
A brief description of how multiple stakeholder groups were involved in developing the plan:
The Sustainable Development Plan was prepared by the 1999-2000 Development, Policy, Implementation, and Transportation (DPIT) Subcommittee of the Campus Planning
Committee as directed by the university president at the committee’s request. 15 people served on this subcommittee, representing twelve departments. Two of them were student representatives.
A brief description of the plan’s measurable goals :
Goal 2)
"The University will strive to obtain maximum value for its expenditures and will work towards obtaining the “best value” by balancing short and long-term costs, maintenance, life-cycle, and environmental costs in purchasing goods and services."
Goal 4)
"The University will establish policies and processes that will reduce solid waste generation; first through reduction, secondarily through reuse, and finally through
recycling."
Goal 5)
"The University...will continue to establish
policies and processes to maintain efficient use, tracking, storage, and disposal of hazardous and toxic
materials."
Goal 6)
"The University will consider environmental implications in the development, construction, and operation of campus infrastructure, grounds, and buildings."
A brief description of how progress in meeting the plan’s goals is measured:
The Office of Sustainability is responsible for administering and monitoring this policy. All members of the university community are invited to support the UO's effort to meet the goals of this policy by contacting the Office of Environmental Health and Safety and offering comments and suggestions for improvement. With the support and advice of the Environmental Issues Committee, the Office of Sustainability will supervise the biannual review of this policy statement and give recommendations for updates as needed.
