Sustainability in Higher Education

 * Deletion nom Prod removed without comment, so I am escalating this to AFD. This is an essay, it is an original synthesis of ideas.  Yes, all of these various institutions claim to be practicing "sustainable" or "environmentally friendly" methods, or whatever catchword you want to use, but the way that this article brings it together as a single topic represents original research as there is no evidence that this topic as such exists outside of Wikipedia.  If we had an external reference that said something like "Sustainability in Higher Education" and showed that this was a real field of study in reliable sources as such, this may be the beginnings of a valid article.  However, it reads more like someone's term paper and nothing else, and as such, is simply original research as defined by WP:OR and WP:NOT Jayron32| talk | contribs  02:26, 12 October 2007 (UTC)
 * Delete as this appears to be original research. The main thing I'm not seeing is any peer-reviewed references.  I also noticed a similar AfD over at Articles for deletion/Sustainability at Berea College from another article created by this author.  -- slakr  \ talk / 02:58, 12 October 2007 (UTC)
