Council reviews campus dynamics
The Faculty Council heard presentations about campus sustainablity and a procedure to replace a retiring faculty member during its Tuesday meeting. Terry Link, director of the Office of Campus Sustainablity and chairperson of the University Committee for a Sustainable Campus, provided a slide presentation with information to supplement the Campus Sustainability Report. Sustainability is the interdependence of living organisms and communities over time, stated the report, which was compiled in September 2003. The report viewed the campus on a timeline from 1990 to 2001 and concentrated on social, economic and environmental factors. "We want to use money and resources in ways that benefit us both today and tomorrow," Link said. Many figures and tables are available in the report, ranging from average SAT scores to electricity consumed on campus.
