Princeton University, NJ U-Bikes Program

Type: Program
Status: Launched in 2007
Source File: http://www.princeton.edu/sustainability/student-initiatives/
Description:
Princeton students launched the U-Bikes program in the 2007 fall semester with broad support from the Office of Sustainability, Department of Public Safety and the student groups Greening Princeton and Students United for a Responsible Global Environment. The intertwined goals of the U-Bikes program are focused at reusing an existing resource to provide a sustainable means of transportation for students while encouraging greater bicycle use in the community.
 
Every year many bicycles are abandoned on campus, some of which need only a simple tune-up. The U-Bikes program was inspired by a desire to salvage and repair these bicycles, provide them as a resource for the campus community, and encourage healthy and more sustainable transportation lifestyles.
 
Public Safety provides the program with bicycles that have been abandoned on campus. They are then refurbished before being distributed. Each bike is rented with a lock. The student renter is responsible for the bike for the rental period, incurring a charge if the bike is severely damaged or lost. U-Bikes' customers are not be responsible for maintenance of the bike. Membership fees help fund an on-campus bike repair facility with staff that occasionally check all bikes in the program for damage and respond to any damage reports from customers.
 
U-Bikes is currently a semester rental program based out of Forbes College (chosen because of the residential college's distance from other campus buildings), with about 30 refurbished bikes spray-painted with a visible orange band and branded with an orange “U-Bikes” stencil. The High Meadows Fund will be providing additional support to continue, and expand, the program in the fall of 2008.
 
The U-Bikes program complements current campus planning efforts to enhance the campus environment for pedestrians and cyclists, and provide better services for cyclists.

Princeton University, NJ Utilities Emissions Reduction Policies

Type: Policy
Status: Ongoing
Source File: http://www.princeton.edu/sustainability/plan-in-action/greenhouse-gas-reduction/utilities-emissions/
Description:
Energy Conservation
central power plant & associated infrastructure
Projects:
* Jadwin Physics building: HVAC system upgrades will result in anticipated savings of 335 peak tons of cooling, 9000 lbs. of steam/hr. peak heating, 70 kW building electricity peak demand, 340,000 kW annual electric demand, and 1730 tons of CO2 per year
* Two small steam turbines at Dillon Gym have been installed to make electricity from excess steam pressure
* Gas compressors in the central plant have been tuned to use less energy when under partial loads
* Steam turbine driven chiller use has been minimized in favor of electric chillers. This reduces gas burned in duct burners, and CO2 emissions under certain operating conditions
* Unit efficiency has been increased in chiller #4 evaporator tubes by removing "scale"
* 110 "venturi" style steam traps were installed to reduce leakage through failed old style traps
* Steam line insulation program has continued: tunnel near Lockhart Hall is now complete
Comprehensive Programs:
* Continuous Commissioning of HVAC - will analyze data from existing building automation system to pinpoint efficiency problems in buildings (currently being tested)
* Lighting
:* 12 buildings were retrofitted with new fluorescent lamps and electronic ballasts, LED exit signs, motion sensors, and compact fluorescent bulbs
:* testing prototype "high hat" style lights with new LED fixtures that use only 11 watts
:* testing prototype LED street lights
* Heat Recovery
:* added to air handler #5 in Lewis Thomas Building
* Domestic Hot Water Reduction
:* replaced all shower heads and sink aerators in the dormitories with low flow models
:* continued replacement of old dining hall dishwashers with low flow models
* Metering
:* Installed 4 steam meters and 6 chilled water meters to measure building energy use to help identify waste
* Roof Replacements
:* University standard has now shifted to white stone ballast instead of dark gray stones to reduce solar heat gain
* Demand Controlled Ventilation
:* successful implementation of CO2 control of air ventilation in the Friend Center to reduce energy when high ventilation rates are not needed
Renewable Energy
Photovoltaic ("solar panel") Technology:
* Large photovoltaic array (443 kW) installed at the ReCAP library storage facility on the Forestal Campus using a power purchase agreement
Ground Source Heat Pump ("geothermal") technology for heating and cooling:
* Princeton University Arts Museum storage facility, Forestal Campus (new construction in planning)
* Arts Neighbornood (new construction in planning)
* Hibben and Magie housing (renovation in planning)
* Daycare Center (new construction in planning)
* Schultz Lab (renovation under review)
* Lawrence Apartments, graduate housing (already installed)
* Campus Club renovation (currently being installed)

Quincy College, MA Policy on Racial Harassment

Type: Policy
Status: In Effect
Source File: http://www.quincycollege.edu/qc/news/policies/policy063.htm
Text:
3 - 03A POLICY ON RACIAL HARASSMENT
1. Policy: Quincy College is dedicated not only to learning, but also to the development of ethnically sensitive and responsible programs and persons. Because the College prepares individuals for participation in an increasingly diverse world, the climate of college life must be one in which academic freedom prevails along with respect for and tolerance of cultural, ethnic, racial, and religious differences. The College seeks to achieve these goals through sound educational programs and conduct policies that encourage effective collaborations, productive individual contributions and professional responsibility. Racial harassment, clearly in conflict with the general mission of this College, is strictly prohibited.
II. Definition: Racial harassment includes, but is not limited to, verbal, physical, or written abuse directed towards an individual or group on the basis of race or racial affiliation. While some examples of racial harassment such as physical and verbal assaults are easily identified, more frequent and generalized instances such as blatant or subtle graffiti and insensitive use of language, including epithets and humor, often go unacknowledged. Both types, however, can be equally damaging and depending on the circumstances can be considered by definition to be a form of discrimination.
As a public institution, the College policies must be consistent with existing state and federal constitutions and civil rights laws. In keeping with the College’s role as an educational institution, however, the College policy regarding racial harassment is stringent in defining unacceptable behavior.
Beyond state law and college regulations, Quincy College sees as part of its educational mission the responsibility for creating an open environment which develops and nurtures respect for cultural and linguistic differences, and seeks to educate its members of the need for all types of diversity within its community.
III. Procedures: If an employee feels that he/she has been a victim of racial harassment he/she is encouraged to contact the Executive Staff Team Member of his/her program or department and the Director of Human Resources. In keeping with the applicable federal and state regulations, the same procedures as outlined under the Sexual Harassment Policy shall apply.

Raleigh, NC Interim Public Art Program

Type: Program
Status: Adopted on 2/17/09
Source File: Click here
Description:
The Raleigh City Council voted 6-2 today to establish an interim percent-for-art program.
Under the resolution approved by council members, the City will allocate half of one percent of expenditures for capital improvement projects (public buildings, parks, and streetscapes) to the creation and development of public art. This funding initiative will begin with selected pilot projects planned for construction after April 1. City Manager J. Russell Allen will submit a list of eligible capital improvement projects to the City’s Arts Commission, which will review the list and forward a recommendation to the City Council to consider.
The interim percent-for-art program will be used until the City Council adopts an ordinance creating a permanent program. Mr. Allen and City Attorney Thomas McCormick’s office will work with the Arts Commission on developing an ordinance for council members to consider.
Currently, there are 500 public art programs in the United States. Approximately 80 percent of these programs are supported by municipal governments. In North Carolina, there are five programs that operate under municipal percent-for-art ordinances.
