Governor's Executive Order No.111

Several regularly published newspapers are produced on campus, including the REPORTER and the SPECTRUM. The production of these publications (as well as other periodicals), involves the consumption of natural resources as well as the generation of pollution. Excess copies can add to the landfill problem and increase the University’s solid waste disposal costs.

The University is responsible for the number of papers printed and distributed, and should do the following:

Promote an ethic of newspaper sharing, i.e. asking their readers to pass copies along to colleagues or to return already read papers to the newspaper pile so they can be available to others.
Keep page numbers to the minimum necessary for each issue’s content.
Monitor distribution of their papers at all sites and use the data gathered to minimize the number of excess copies printed and distributed.
Utilize recycled newsprint when availability permits and use water-based soy inks.
Cooperate with University Facilities in the development of a campus newspaper-recycling program.
