Socially Sustainable: Living Wage Policies in American Higher Education

February 21, 2018 @ 3:00 pm - 4:00 pm EST

Free

Social sustainability is in the news every day, yet, our research on living wage policies in American higher education reveals that the vast majority of institutions do not have living wage policies. In this webinar we’ll provide our preliminary results, and share the rubric used to evaluate living wage policies. We’ll also provide a model to identify necessary allies to establish living wage practices and policies at their institution.
