    Formal Sustainability Procedures

    iCAP Team recommendations are a vital part of our community engagement and public input procedures for campus sustainability.  Topical green teams with students, faculty, staff, and community members develop clear and specific recommendations for campus units to enact.  The recommendations are submitted to the iCAP Working Group chairs to route, according to the Formal Procedures.  The typical process includes four steps:

    1) Submitted: iCAP Team submits the recommendation to the iWG chairs for review by the iCAP Working Group (iWG).

    2) Transmitted: The iWG transmits their assessment of the recommendation to the applicable campus unit.

    3) Approved: The unit that received the recommendation replies in the affirmative.

    4) Successful: The recommendation has been implemented.

    To help the University of Illinois become a model of sustainability both in the community and for the world to emulate, the Institute for Sustainability, Energy, and Environment (iSEE) has developed a tiered system for campus sustainability procedures. In June 2014, Chancellor Phyllis Wise approved the Procedure for Formulating and Evaluating Campus Sustainability Policies & Initiatives, offering a big-picture process for updating and evaluating the iCAP — and explaining the roles of the Sustainability Council, the iCAP Working Group (iWG), and the Sustainability Working Advisory Teams (SWATeams).
