Minutes/University SenateFebruary 3, 2011Page 3

Update on Sustainability Initiatives

Senior Vice President for University Relations and Public Affairs Lynne Brownintroduced Mr. Cecil Scheib, Director of Energy & Sustainability, to report onUniversity Sustainability Initiatives. Mr. Scheib related that since 2006, the Universityhas seen a 28% reduction in energy use and a 32% reduction in emissions,supporting Mayor Bloomberg’s goal to reduce New York City’s energy use andgreenhouse gas emissions by 30% by 2017. The University’s recycling program alsoimproved with the introduction of “mixed recycling,” which allows glass, paper andmetal to be recycled in the same bin, and Styrofoam and food-contaminated waste ina separate bin. The University also introduced composting in dining halls andselected student residences. These efforts increased recycling by 178% in a trial atthe Stern School of Business and will be continued University-wide, except in thoseUniversity buildings where the trash is picked up by the City’s sanitation services.

Dr. Brown introduced Mr. Jeremy Friedman, Manager of Sustainability Initiatives, whoreported that the University achieved a gold STARS (Sustainability Tracking,Assessment, and Rating System) rating, placing it among the top five high-scoringinstitutions in the country. STARS is the first comprehensive, transparent, peer-reviewed system for measuring an institution’s green achievements and progress inreducing environmental harm. It measures operational performance, academicleadership in curriculum and research, strategies for embedding sustainability in theadministration, and public engagement efforts to all members of the campuscommunity. Mr. Friedman related that NYU’s areas of strength include communityparticipation, co-curricular and residential green education, energy savings, anddining sustainability—more than 30% of NYU’s dining and catering ingredients comefrom within 250 miles of the University. Since 2008, NYU Sustainability hasparticipated in more than 40 University events, including Welcome Week and EarthWeek, sends out quarterly emails, has a strong web presence, and is covered byWashington Square News, The New York Times, The Chronicle of Higher Educationand other media outlets.

Finally, Dr. Brown introduced Mr. John Bradley, Assistant Vice President for Energy,Engineering and Technical Services, to speak about the University’s newcogeneration plant. Mr. Bradley noted that the University looked into extending thelife of the old plant, as well as purchasing power from Consolidated Edison, but bothoptions were deemed not viable because of the age of the old plant and theprohibitive cost of buying power from Consolidated Edison. The new plant is locatedunder Warren Weaver Hall, on the southwest corner of West 4th and Mercer Streets,and provides electricity to 22 University buildings and heat to 37 University buildings.The plant’s input is natural gas from Consolidated Edison and the outputs are chilledwater, electricity, and steam. The plant is approaching 90% efficiency and, since it

Minutes/University SenateFebruary 3, 2011Page 4

went online, greenhouse gas emissions have decreased by 23% and the Universityhas seen a 68% reduction of EPA Criteria Air Pollutants. Tours of the newcogeneration plant will begin on Tuesday, February 8 and will continue throughoutthe month. To sign up for a tour of the new plant, please visitwww.nyu.edu/sustainability.

REPORT OF THE EXECUTIVE COMMITTEE

Revised Committee Assignments

Ms. Dwyer referred to the list of revised committee assignments that was included inthe mailing for today’s meeting, reporting that the Committee unanimously approvedthe changes by mail ballot.

REPORT OF THE ACADEMIC AFFAIRS COMMITTEE

Professor Hammack reported that the Committee held two meetings to discuss thecalendar change proposal, which would begin in the Fall 2012 semester, to reducethe length of Welcome Week, the time between Freshman Move-In Day and thebeginning of classes, from the current nine days, by beginning classes on theWednesday before Labor Day. The change also would allow for a two-day FallBreak, Thanksgiving Break to begin on Wednesday, and an additional Reading Daybetween the last day of classes and the beginning of exams, as well as an earlierstart to exams. The change was requested by student resident advisors who believethat the long Welcome Week—much longer than the rest of our peer institutions—puts a strain on student affairs trying to program that much time before classes beginand results in behaviors that may be injurious to student health, stemming fromalcohol and drug use. After soliciting comments and concerns from the Universitycommunity, the Committee voted to recommend the calendar change to the Senate,but in recognition of concerns raised, also recommended that this change, ifimplemented, be reexamined after a few years to consider whether the negativeconsequences outweigh the positive.

Dr. Sexton opened the floor to discussion of the matter. Criticisms of the proposalincluded: disruption for faculty who have children in school whose classes do notstart until after Labor Day; the adverse affect on classes held on Mondays, withstudents effectively losing the first two weeks of class due to the Labor Day holiday;the disruption the extended Fall Break would bring to classes that meet only once aweek; the disproportionality of the negatives resulting from the changes; the lack ofevidence that the shorter Welcome Week will positively impact freshman behaviors;

Minutes/University SenateFebruary 3, 2011Page 5

and the need for students who are not from the area to have this time to getacquainted with New York City. Support for the proposal centered around studentwellness issues and prevention of mischief, with one comment that students wouldenjoy more time to travel and be with family for the Thanksgiving holiday and WinterBreak.

Upon motion duly made and seconded, the calendar change proposal was defeated,40-to-18.

REPORT OF THE FINANCIAL AFFAIRS COMMITTEE

Mr. Dorph reported that the Financial Affairs Committee met last month anddiscussed next year’s budget. The Committee will meet today after the Senatemeeting.

REPORT OF THE PRESIDENT

University Senate Meeting Thursday, February 3, 2011

As we begin the new semester, it is my pleasure to share with you announcements of recent news, honors, and grants presented to the NYU community. NEWS AND EVENTS As many of you know, NYU has been in conversation with government representatives in Shanghai and with East China Normal University about the creation of a new portal campus within NYU’s Global Network. We recently received the good news that China’s Ministry of Education has given its approval to our proposal. Even with the important step of this approval, our conversations in Shanghai are not concluded; however, we have excellent partners in this effort and the dialogue is proceeding well. All of us involved in discussions over the past several years, including the Faculty Senators Council, the Academic Priorities Committee, and faculty groups such as China House that have a special interest in China, are hopeful and excited about the prospect of creating NYU Shanghai as the University’s third portal campus. Once again, NYU has received a record number of freshman applications, with significant increases at both the Washington Square and the Abu Dhabi campuses. Over 42,200 men and women applied for spots in the class of 2015, exceeding last year’s total by 11 percent. Applications from international students increased by 36 percent over last year. 41,058 applicants will vie for approximately 4,800 seats at the Washington Square campus, and 1,184 applicants asked to be considered for the Abu Dhabi campus only, a 24 percent increase over last year’s inaugural class. When combined with the 4,670 applicants interested in being considered for both campuses, a total 5,854 applicants will compete for just 150 spots at NYU Abu Dhabi. These impressive numbers are a tribute to the hard work of Randall Deike, Vice President of Enrollment Management, and the entire staff in Undergraduate Admissions. I am pleased to announce that the new Co-Generation (CoGen) plant, located under the renovated plaza at 251 Mercer Street, is complete. The new plant decreases greenhouse gas emissions by 23% while reducing air pollutants by 68% compared to its 30-year-old, oil-fired predecessor, and is expected to save NYU $5-8 million in energy-related costs each year. It is one of the largest private CoGen plants in New York City, and provides electricity to 22 NYU buildings, up from 7 buildings with the old plant. When combined with significant reductions in greenhouse gas emissions achieved through university-wide sustainability efforts, NYU’s expected total 40% reduction in greenhouse gas emissions over four years will surpass our commitment to Mayor Bloomberg’s PlaNYC Climate Challenge by 10% and nine years ahead of schedule.
