Do Colleges Need Green Czars?
An April 15, 2008 article at Inside Higher Ed
"At a recent gathering in College Park, Md., for the Smart and Sustainable Campuses Conference, business officers joined campus planners and the latest subgroup to make its presence felt: campus sustainability coordinators.
Five years earlier, those coordinators would have had little to no representation at such an event. But as colleges commit to reducing their carbon footprints, a growing number are introducing or redefining a staff position to organize the efforts.
Julian Dautremont-Smith, associate director of the Association for the Advancement of Sustainability in Higher Education, estimates that there are as many as 150 college sustainability officers, with more being hired every week. A 2005 survey from an AASHE predecessor identified 36 people with titles similar to “sustainability or environmental coordinators,” and Dautremont-Smith said it’s doubtful that more than 50 positions existed back then.
