• That the research of faculty members is related to sustainability, whether environmental, social or economic.
• Emphasizing that the College of Law's programs contain courses related to sustainability of all kinds. (The college has previously identified 14 courses targeting sustainable development).
• The importance of enhancing the role of students and professors in participating in seminars, offices and programs that support sustainability.
