Greetings,
The Association for the Advancement of Sustainability in Higher
Education (AASHE) invites you to provide feedback on the latest draft
version of STARS (Sustainability Tracking, Assessment & Rating System).
The document, STARS 0.5, is available at
www.aashe.org/stars/documents/STARS_0.5.pdf.
STARS strives to provide a standardized system for tracking information
about sustainability performance and enable better information sharing
about sustainability practices. It includes a major section on
Education and Research where faculty input would be particularly
helpful. Over 90 colleges and universities are pilot testing STARS
throughout 2008. Additional information about the project is available
at www.aashe.org/stars.
Feedback from faculty and other sustainability educators has been
tremendously helpful in developing the system so far, and will be
critically important in refining the system as the project continues.
While we welcome feedback about the entire document, feel free to focus
your comments on the topics or sections in which you are most
experienced or interested. The comment period on this draft will last
until May 9, 2008.
Thank you for your interest in this project. Please direct questions
and feedback about STARS to [EMAIL PROTECTED] I look forward to hearing
from you!
Warm Regards,
Julian
