CCSRI will consider the following as indicators of organizational health: the number and quality of applications received during recruitment cycles, the quality of the ESG research methodology and reporting standards employed by the group as perceived by its members, faculty advisors, and university administrators, and the extent to which the University implements changes in its portfolio following CCSRI's recommendations.
