Michael Smith, professor in the Department of History, asks why climate change was minimized in the final Ithaca Forever strategic plan.

Commentary: What happened to climate awareness and sustainability at Ithaca College?

By Michael Smith • September 6, 2023
Back in the 2018–19 academic year, I served on the Investment in People, Place, Planet working group during the Ithaca Forever strategic planning process. I was then on the Climate Action Team in the fall of 2019. Throughout, I advocated consistently and forcefully for climate to be central to the final strategic plan.
On March 25, protestors holding signs that read “Planet before profits” and “System change not climate change!” filled the Bernie Milton Pavilion in support of climate justice. Their demands are part of a movement to strengthen Ithaca’s Green New Deal through climate justice efforts
