The Association for the Advancement of 可持续性 in Higher Education (AASHE) is the professional organization for sustainability work on college 和 university campuses around the world. In 2010, this organization launched the first version of their 可持续性 Tracking, Assessment, 和 Rating System (STARS). STARS是透明的, self-reporting framework for colleges 和 universities to measure their sustainability performance. Similar to Leadership in 能源 和 环境al Design (LEED) ratings for buildings, 大学可以获得铜牌, 银, Gold or Platinum ratings for their campus work on sustainability.
Each STARS report looks at all aspects of a university from operations information (such as how much renewable energy a school is using or what a campus waste diversion rate is), to engagement (how students participate in sustainability programming), 社会可持续性, diversity 和 equity measures (things like whether staff members earn a living wage or what level of debt students leave the school carrying). 整体, 该报告研究了超过2个,000 data points 和 requires the participation of individuals, offices 和 departments from all parts of the university to pitch in 和 help. See a detailed list of the information STARS collects 在这里.
