The report contains a compilation of Pacific Sustainability Index (PSI) scores evaluating the environmental and social reporting of these colleges. PSI scoring is based on the transparency, intent, and performance for both environmental and social issues.<\/p>\n<p>The top 10 in overall sustainability reporting are:<\/p>\n<p>1. Williams College<\/p>\n<p>2. Bucknell University<\/p>\n<p>3. Amherst College<\/p>\n<p>4. Colorado College<\/p>\n<p>5. Gettysburg College<\/p>\n<p>6. Bard College<\/p>\n<p>7. Haverford College<\/p>\n<p>8. Wellesley College<\/p>\n<p>9. Mount Holyoke College<\/p>\n<p>10. Oberlin College<\/p>\n<p>Using the Top 50 liberal arts colleges according to <em>U.S. News and World Report<\/em> in 2009, the research for the report is based entirely on material released on the colleges&#8217; web sites. This is the REC&#8217;s second report on College and University sustainability reporting. The first, in 2007, evaluated only a few institutions because, at that time, sustainability issues were not widely reported on college and university web sites.<\/p>\n<p>The report&#8217;s ranking was created by REC analysts evaluating each college&#8217;s web site using the PSI and sector specific questions. The index uses a systematic questionnaire to assess the quality of sustainability reporting and is divided into environmental and social categories that contain three types of information: intent, reporting, and performance.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Williams currently has evacuated tube solar collectors on Fort Hoosac, a graduate dorm.
