A more sustainable university

• Biofuel research and development
• Appropriate incentives for grant application (e.g. tenure) 
• Recycling bins in each office with weekly or bi-weekly pickup or a central place in each building for recycling. 
• Use degree audits to make class assignments 
• 65 credits may not be a lot for UI but it is a lot for high school students, particularly first generation & rural students 
• Focus areas in college aligned with National/University focus areas – sell what we do – not the program 
• Energy efficiency / Energy audits 
• Identify focus areas & fund them 
• All green construction policy 
• Challenge all courses to have a sustainability component 
• Active healthy living 
• Interdisciplinary grants 
• Encourage graduate research in projects that also could affect university 
• Enhanced collaboration across colleges 
• Conduct research (site-specific) at R&E centers – energy production 
• Expand hiring in energy & climate change areas 
• Diverse student profile – engage private/foundation
