Seattle University, WA Anti-Sweatshop Policy

Type: Policy
Status: In effect
Source File: http://www.seattleu.edu/sustainability/p_antiss.asp
Description:
There is a campus-wide Anti-Sweatshop Policy and an Anti-Sweatshop Committee covering vendors and manufacturers that supply the University with apparel bearing the University’s name and/or logos. Seattle University has joined the Workers Rights Consortium and the Fair Labor Association to independently monitor its contractors. These organizations will conduct monitoring for Seattle University in accordance with the organizations’ respective standards.
Seattle University’s Statement of Support for the Designated Suppliers Program
The pursuit of social justice is an essential part of Seattle University’s institutional mission. Consistent with this mission, Seattle University has long supported fair labor standards and safe working conditions for people who produce university-licensed apparel. This is demonstrated by our Code of Conduct for university licensees, by our affiliation with the Worker Rights Consortium (WRC) and Fair Labor Association (FLA), and by the ongoing work of the university’s Anti-Sweatshop Committee.
Seattle University supports the basic principles and intent of the Designated Suppliers Program (DSP) proposed by United Students Against Sweatshops (USAS). The DSP reflects principles and strategies that are central to Seattle University’s commitment to protecting workers’ rights. In addition to requiring licensees to source from sweat-free factories, the DSP would require that factories producing university-licensed apparel pay workers a living wage and allow workers the freedom of association.
We note that the goals of the DSP are consistent with the goals of Seattle University. At the same time we recognize significant legal, logistical and economic issues associated with implementing, administering and enforcing the proposal. We hope that all institutions and entities involved in the licensing, production and sale of collegiate apparel will collaborate to address these issues. Seattle University encourages broad participation from all parties involved in the feasibility and implementation of the DSP.
Seattle University is committed to full participation in the DSP Working Group and will become a strong participant of the Designation Suppliers Program once concerns regarding feasibility and legal compliance are addressed.
For questions on this policy, contact Pam Miller, Director of Facilities Support Services.

Seattle University, WA Solar Power Project

Type: Policy
Status: Initiated in 2005
Source File: http://www.seattleu.edu/facilities/page.aspx?id=77&x=7
Description:
A joint effort between seniors in Mechanical Engineering, Facilities Services and Seattle City Light brought solar power to campus in summer 2005. The students determined the best location for the solar panels, sized the system, designed the mounting system and electrical connections and provided engineering support to Facilities who installed the system.
The installation consists of arrays mounted on the Student Center’s roof and south wall, and a tracking pole-mounted solar array. There is no battery storage and no net metering on these solar panels; the energy produced goes to the Student Center. The combined output of the three solar arrays produce enough electricity to power one energy-conserving home for a year. Real-time and historical solar electricity generated by SU’s solar panels is available online. To learn more, go to the student project page or this article.
The solar panels were funded by customer contributions to the Seattle City Light Green Power Program. The Green Power program is a customer-funded program that offers City Light business and residential customers the option to increase the development of new sources of renewable energy which includes solar projects. 
For each kWh generated by the solar electric system, 1.32 pounds of carbon dioxide (CO2) are avoided, according to Seattle City Light estimates.
The solar panels help Seattle University achieve the following goals:
* Demonstrate its continued commitment to reducing the school’s environmental impact
* Expand the green building features of the new Student Center
* Offer faculty a resource for including renewable energy in their course curriculums
* Educate and promote awareness of solar power to the public, students and staff

Serving Sustainability to Sun Devils, Arizona State University

Type: Program
Status: Ongoing
Source File: http://servingsustainability.asu.edu/
Description:
Serving Sustainability to Sun Devils is Arizona State University’s award program for ecologically healthy food services. The mission of Serving Sustainability to Sun Devils is to provide a comprehensive mechanism for recognizing food services that demonstrate an outstanding commitment to sustainability goals such as waste reduction, pollution management, and energy efficiency. By providing local food services with strategies and resources for minimizing their waste output and recognizing exemplary programs, the Serving Sustainability to Sun Devils program seeks to:
* Reduce ASU’s ecological footprint;
* Contribute to an environmentally and economically healthy community; and
* Encourage businesses on and near campus to become leaders in sustainability.
This award program is designed not only to recognize exemplary food services, but also to educate both businesses and the general public about the best practices and resources available for creating a healthy, sustainable food service industry.
The Serving Sustainability to Sun Devils project is made possible by a grant from the National Wildlife Federation.
The Award
The Serving Sustainability to Sun Devils award is intended to fulfill several short- and long-term objectives:
Short-term Objectives
* To provide active education to local food services to increase awareness of current conservation issues and practices, as well as the resources available (e.g., local composting and recycling services, food banks, local suppliers, etc.) that will help them reduce their waste output.
* To implement an incentive program that promotes ecologically-healthy businesses through campus advertising, coupons, web-space, etc.
* To institute an annual award that ASU will grant to food services on and around campus which demonstrate a commitment to reducing their ecological footprint through different waste reduction strategies.
* To develop a comprehensive set of metrics on which to evaluate sustainability in the food-service industry.
Long-term Objectives
* To engage local businesses in ASU’s sustainability initiative, as demonstrated by a measurable reduction in food-, packaging-, wastewater, and energy-waste by individual food services.
* To increase both community and business awareness of the waste issues associated with the food service industry.
* To develop a more universal set of standards which other universities and organizations may adapt to measure and promote food service sustainability practices across the nation.
