U. of Idaho Dean Picked to Lead Higher-Education Sustainability Group

Paul Rowland, dean of the College of Education at the University of Idaho, has been picked to become the new executive director of the Association for the Advancement of Sustainability in Higher Education, a leading sustainability group. A news release indicates that Mr. Rowland has had background in sustainability issues, but his professional focus on education, rather than environmental policy or a similar field, may indicate that AASHE will emphasize sustainability in the classroom in the future.
