In late January, Tom Ewart, a graduate student and research assistant at the Richard Ivey School of Business, presented administration with a long-term, comprehensive plan to pursue sustainability in policy format.
In his presentation to the Strategic Planning Task Force, Ewart proposed the creation of a sustainability policy and office.The committee heard financial, operational and ethical imperatives for adopting a green policy and office.
Ewart also presented a sample yearly budget of approximately $200,000 for a sustainability office that could co-ordinate and implement campus sustainability initiatives, conduct a sustainability assessment, and raise awareness in the campus community.
In June, the draft report of the Strategic Planning Task Force was issued.
