Many of us are still struggling to stop neglecting the social equity/vibrant communities leg of the 3-legged sustainability stool. I would be interested to see examples of sustainability assessments and especially sustainability plans (with goals and timelines) that have included social sustainability metrics and goals.

The University of Florida's Visision for a Sustainable UF (pdf) includes sections on Equity and Health and Wellbeing.  It doesn't include timelines, but each section does have a vision and a list of opportunities to meet the vision. 

Antioch University New England completed a social justice audit in late 2006 and has since "developed an action plan, with clear benchmarks to measure progress toward implementing recommendations."
