Our examination was made in accordance with auditing standards generally accepted in the United States of America and, accordingly, included such tests ofthe accounting records and such other auditing procedures as we considered necessary. The University has prepared documents to demonstrate its financial responsibility under NRC's financial assurance regulations, 10 CFR Part 30. This letter is furnished to assist the licensee, Yale University, license No. 06-00183-03, in complying \"lith these regulations and should not be used for other purposes. The attached summary schedule of net assets (Schedule) reconciles the specified information furnished in the Vice President for Finance and Business Operations' (VP's) letter in response to the regulations with the University's financial statements. In connection therewith, we have: 1. Confirmed that the amount in the column "Per Financial Statements" agrees with amount reported in the University's audited financial statements for the year ended June 30, 2011; 2. Confirmed'that the amount in the column "Per VP's letter" agrees with the letter prepared in response to NRC's request; 3. Confirmed that there are no reconciling items. Because the procedures in 1-3 above do not constitute an audit performed in accordance with auditing standards generally accepted in the United States of America, we do not express an opinion on the schedule attached or the VP's letter. In connection with the procedures referred to above, no matters came to our attention that caused us to believe that the VP'g letter and supporting information should be adjusted.

To accomplish this goal the University integrates sustainable practices into the fabric of institutional decision-making at all levels. Each unit on campus has a unique cultural context. Successful implementation of sustainability goals will rely on efforts to refine tools and tactics to suit this diversity of disciplines and perspectives. Figure 1: sustainability values This Document As a component of leadership and capacity building, the Yale Sustainability Strategic Plan commits to establish and implement a sustainability action plan for Athletics. The plan is intended to support the Yale-wide goals while reflecting the operational contexts of Athletics. This document offers overarching language about sustainability at Yale and indicates goals from the Yale Sustainability Strategy Plan 2013-2016 that are particularly relevant to Athletics. It then suggests a brief set of initiatives related to the operations and mission of Athletics. The Office of Sustainability will communicate with key staff members throughout Athletics on a regular basis to follow progress on the Action Items below and update this “living document” accordingly.
