Things have been rough between faculty and Administrators at EMU. Over the past 8 years there have been 3 strikes. Sustainability has never been close to on the table. For years now, I have been reading and part of AASHE (Association for the Advancement of Sustainability in Higher Education), but only from outside the organization, because of the hundreds of schools that belong, my school EMU, is not one. Maybe this will change.
I found these short videos about Sustainability in Higher Education, and thought maybe they will help convince people that we need to address these issues at EMU.
And then after we have joined AASHE, we can join the other 239 schools and sign the American College & University Presidents Climate Commitment, or the Talloires Declaration that more than 300 schools in 40 countries have signed.
