Illinois State University Women's Mentoring Network

Type: Program
Status: Ongoing
Source File: http://www.mentoringnetwork.ilstu.edu/
Description:
MISSION STATEMENT
To provide support and information to women students beginning (or returning to) college after an interruption in their formal education. Mentors are female professionals on campus who wish to create a welcoming environment for these students in an effort to ease the transition into higher education.
A LITTLE BIT OF HISTORY
In Fall 2003, a group of university employees placed an ad in a campus publication to gauge interest in forming a mentoring network for female nontraditional students. As a result 27 university women mentored 41 nontraditional students. Many mentors in the group were once nontraditional students themselves and they understand the interests of nontraditional students.
Teri Farr Assistant to Department Chair, Sociology & Anthropology: "Back when we created the WMN, we knew there was a need for nontraditional women students to feel a part of ISU and be comfortable on campus. Little did we know how great the need was! I love connecting with our students and other mentors...learning from each other, and encouraging students to continue their studies and graduate from ISU. As an alumnus, I feel a strong bond and connection to our campus and community. I just wanted our students to be offered and afforded the same opportunities that I had...a chance to connect with faculty, staff and other students and to be given out of classroom learning opportunities that enrich their college experience.
As a mentor, I hope I've given support and advice to my mentees that they will remember and learn from. My mentees have given me a chance to "pay it forward" the way my mentors did in the past for me. Returning to college as an older person can sometimes be overwhelming and its a privilege to be able to provide a shoulder and be a cheerleader for students at ISU."

Indiana University Anti-Sweatshop Advisory Committee

Type: Policy
Status: Ongoing
Source File: http://www.indiana.edu/~wrciu/
Description:
Indiana University's licensing code of conduct requires all licensees to ensure certain basic rights of workers who create IU-licensed products. The University is affiliated with the Worker Rights Consortium, a non-profit organization created by college and university administrators, students and labor rights experts to assist in the enforcement of manufacturing Codes of Conduct adopted by colleges and universities. There are more than 135 colleges and universities affiliated with the WRC.
The Anti-Sweatshop Advisory Committee is comprised of concerned faculty, staff, and students on the IU-Bloomington campus. The committee chair is Dean of Students Richard McKaig. The Committee generally meets every three weeks during the academic year. Our purpose is to make sure IU's licensing code of conduct is enforced. In response to factory updates provided by the WRC, we contact our licensees and ask them to exert pressure to improve working conditions.
Indiana University's former President Adam Herbert had agreed in principle to the Designated Suppliers Proposal put forward by United Students Against Sweatshops. This plan would require that licensees procure a certain percentage of their garments from factories approved by the WRC as upholding worker rights. The implementation of this program is now on hold, due to anti-trust concerns of current official(s) of the United States Dept. of Justice.

Indiana University Task Force on Campus Sustainability

Type: Policy
Status: In effect
Source File: https://www.indiana.edu/~sustain/mission-statement/
Text:
Mission Statement
The mission of the Indiana University Task Force on Campus Sustainability is to develop a framework for Indiana University’s plan for sustainability. The university defines sustainability as development that meets the needs of the present without compromising the ability of future generations to meet their own needs1. Specifically, seven areas will be considered:
1. Education, Outreach, and Student Engagement:
Promote awareness of sustainability goals and foster environmental literacy among the campus community through academic and co-curricular avenues as well as through academic research. Collaborate in sustainability outreach efforts with the surrounding community.
2. Resource Use/Recycling:
Examine the lifecycle of consumable items from purchasing to disposal. Once identified, the items’ lifecycles will be examined for maximum efficiency.
3. Energy
Promote energy awareness on the Bloomington campus by identifying the sources of greenhouse gas emissions and developing scenarios to reduce GHG emissions and become carbon-neutral; promote the development and implementation of an integrated energy master plan for the campus that focuses on reduction of energy waste, maximizes the practical use of renewable energy, and optimizes the efficiency of the IUB energy production and distribution facilities.
4. Built Environment:
Create a plan to promote sustainability through innovative design and engineering principles for functionality, safety, and energy efficiency without losing respect for campus culture and heritage; establish benchmarks for future energy density based on use of both new and historical buildings; use comparison with global best-practices as the metric for success.
5. Environmental Quality/Land Use:
Address issues of sustainability that influence the University landscape and the environment. Current scope includes: outreach and education; master planning; restoration of natural resource systems; maintenance practices; hydrology; hazardous material usage.
6. Transportation:
Promote sustainable transportation for students, staff, and faculty so as to maximize health, happiness, and safety while minimizing financial costs, energy costs, and environmental impacts.
7. Food:
Define a “sustainable campus food system.” Focus will be on healthy diet, low waste generation, regional orientation, and sustainable farming practices.
[1] This definition draws on the famous articulation of “sustainable development” by the World Commission on Environment and Development in Our Common Future (Oxford University Press, 1987, p. 8 ).

Mayor Signs Ordinances Continuing Funding After-School and Park Projects
Funding will come from federal grants and interest earned on past grants
INDIANAPOLIS - Late last week, Mayor Bart Peterson signed two Fiscal Ordinances approving over $700,000 in funding in the 2003 Budget of the Department of Parks and Recreation to continue after school programming, improve park facilities, and support upcoming construction projects. Funding will come from a federal grant and interest earnings on Lilly Endowment funds.
Fiscal Ordinance No. 91, 2003, funds the continuation of the after school programs in Forest Manor School, School #108, and The Boys and Girls Club in Raymond Park Middle School for the 2003-2004 school year.
The second ordinance approved by Mayor Peterson, Fiscal Ordinance No.92, 2003, approves funding to install shelters at Indy Parks summer lunch sites, replace damaged playground equipment in Washington Park, and support projects at Garfield, Christian, Rhodius, and Bethel Parks.
"The commitment that Mayor Peterson has shown to building better parks has been essential in our growth and development," said Indy Parks Director Joseph Wynns. "We are always looking for ways to continue to meet the recreational needs of all Marion County residents."
During the 2002-2003 school year, Indy Parks and Recreation held after-school programs servicing 19 Marion County schools and over 1000 children.

Introduction and information on participatory budgeting

Introduction
Participatory budgeting is a process in which the residents if a city or other jurisdiction actually make decisions about how some portion of the city budget is spent. It is distinct from more common processes in which residents are consulted, but the decision is still reserved for elected representatives or hired staff.
Generally such decision-making is limited to a discretionary portion of the budget, and in some insistances only applies to special districts.
The city of Porte Allegre in Brazil made the issue famous with its intensive process, but some form of participatory budget is in use in many cities around the world. It is by far most common in Latin America, but is also in use in a few locations in Europe and Canada. We are not aware of any jurisdiction in the United States that uses participatory budgeting.

Iowa City, IA Police Citizen's Review Board

Type: Program
Status: Established in 1997
Source File: http://www.icgov.org/default/?id=1824
Description:
Established in 1997, the Iowa City Police Citizens Review Board consists of five members appointed by the City Council. The PCRB has its own legal counsel.
The PCRB reviews reports prepared after investigation of complaints about alleged police misconduct. It then issues its own written reports that contain detailed findings of fact and conclusions that explain why and the extent to which complaints should be sustained or not sustained. The PCRB maintains a central registry of complaints against sworn police officers and prepares annual reports to the City Council on the disposition of these complaints.
The PCRB reviews police policies, procedures, and practices, and may recommend modifications to them. It may recommend that the City Council hold public forums and/or hearings designed to encourage citizens to provide information, recommendations, and opinions about police policies, procedures, and practices.
The PCRB has only limited civil administrative review powers and has no power or authority over criminal matters or police discipline. It is not a court of law and is not intended to substitute for any form of legal action against the Police Department or the City.
The Complaint Review Process
* The PCRB receives a completed citizen complaint form and immediately forwards a copy to the Police Chief for internal affairs investigation. (If the complaint is about the Chief, the City Manager will conduct the investigation.) The Chief completes the investigation within 90 days and issues a detailed written report that concludes with a finding that the complaint is "sustained" or "not sustained." The PCRB will grant extensions, from this deadline for good cause shown.
* Copies of the Chief’s report are sent to the PCRB and to the complainant, the police officers, and the City Manager.
* The PCRB reviews the Chief's report and may conduct additional investigation or request that the Chief do so. Within 45 days of receipt of the Chief’s report, the Board issues a written report that contains detailed findings of fact and a conclusion that explains why and the extent to which the complaint should be "sustained" or "not sustained." The City Council may grant extensions, upon written request.
* Copies of the PCRB's report on the Chief's investigation are sent to the complainant, the police officers, the City Manager, and the City Council.
* The PCRB may recommend that the Chief reverse his findings if it determines that they are unsupported by substantial evidence; are unreasonable, arbitrary, or capricious; or are contrary to Police Department policy or practice, or any federal, state, or local law.

Iowa State University Community Garden Plots

Type: Program
Status: Ongoing
Source File: http://www.agron.iastate.edu/studentfarm/gardenplots.html
Description:
Do you live in an apartment or a house where you just don't have the space or the light you need to garden successfully? The ISU Student Organic Farm can help! Community Garden Plots at the ISU farm give you the opportunity to unleash your green thumb and it allows the farm to reach out to the community and enlist volunteers for farm projects. Contact us now to reserve a plot for the 2007 season.
When you sign up for a community plot, you agree to volunteer at the farm for 10 hrs over the course of the spring and summer and, in return, you get a 20'x15' plot. Dues are $25 to help pay for a fence and/or tilling of community plots. Policies concerning community plotters and their commitment to the farm have been changing over the last several years. Come to our meetings and tell us what you think. 
Community plotters can start fulfilling their service hours as soon as work at the farm starts in the spring. The farm manager(s) typically holds "workdays" on Thursday evenings from 5-7pm and sometimes on weekends. Volunteers are notified of coming workdays via the email listserve and they are encouraged to show up and help with work that the farm manager has lined up (email us to get on the SOFarm listserve). It's best to get your hours in early in the season when there is a big need for extra hands to get everything planted and keep the early summer weeds at bay. You'll find that being a community plot gardener will give you great opportunities to learn through your own experience, interactions with neighboring plotters (the tomatoes always seem a little bigger in the next plot over . . .) and fulfillment of your service hours.
