NYU's Sustainability Task Force has released its 2007-08 Annual Report and Recommendations.
As a private university in the public service, NYU has a responsibility to embed environmental values at the core of its administrative operations and academic mission.
Sustainability means bringing together diverse segments of our community - students, faculty, staff, alumni, parents, and neighbors - to improve NYU's environmental performance and foster a "green" campus culture.
