Monika Urbanski
Association for the Advancement of Sustainability in Higher Education
Every two to three years since 2008, the Association for the Advancement of Sustainability in Higher Education (AASHE) has conducted a survey of sustainability professionals employed in higher education. These surveys aggregate information from sustainability staff and specialized positions such as recycling & waste staff and academic staff working in sustainability. This report presents the results of the 2023 Higher Education Sustainability Staffing Survey. It examines the nature of sustainability positions at colleges and universities in the United States, Canada and other countries, providing insights into salaries, funding, supervision, job satisfaction, challenges and more. This report provides an update to AASHE's 2020 staffing survey report, which was conducted on the eve of the global COVID-19 pandemic, which resulted in the closure of campuses and triggered a major economic downturn. The 2023 survey captures the higher education sustainability sector's reactions to and ongoing recovery from the pandemic.
