Additional copies of this report are available from: Joseph· Galaskiewicz, Department of Sociology, 909 Social Science Building, 267 19th Avenue South, University of Minnesota, Minneapolis, Minnesota 55455. Executive Summary The report summarizes findings from several studies that have been done over the last ten years on the Third Sector in the Minneapolis-St. Paul metro area. We interviewed representatives of not-for-profit organizations and corporate giving programs, chief executive officers of local business firms, institutional elites, and corporate philanthropic leaders in 1980 and 1981 and again in 1988 and 1989. Our goal is to describe how the sector has changed and how prominent people in this community viewed these changes. The first section of the report examines the nonprofit organization. We surveyed a sample of nonprofits in 1980, 1984, and 1988.

This information is also on the web at www.umn.edu/twincities/directory.html. Some information from the introduction section of the former paper directory and department listings for the Duluth, Morris, Crookston, and Rochester campuses can be found in other pdfs on this site. Due to space limitations, department listings are limited to functions and services directory users are most likely to need. Therefore, you will not find every staff person listed in this section. Many listings in this section have a delivery code for use in addressing campus mail. The code appears below the listing title (e.g., del code 3061) or sometimes with a second or third address. If a department listing lacks a delivery code, the code for an individual staff or faculty member can be found under the individual’s listing using People Search.

  • Environmental Effects
    Central Corridor LRT Project Chapter 4 Environmental Effects 4.0 ENVIRONMENTAL EFFECTS This chapter of the FEIS for the Central Corridor Light Rail Transit (LRT) Project describes the existing conditions of the natural and built environments. The Study Area was analyzed to determine the potential effects for the No-Build and Preferred Alternatives on natural resources, its habitats, and effects of byproducts of the built environment, such as noise, hazardous materials, and energy consumption. Each section describes the Study Area defined for each topic, the methods used to make the assessments, the existing conditions of each resource, and long- and short-term effects anticipated as well as mitigation of effects. Section 4.1 provides a description of the geologic resources along and adjacent to the Central Corridor LRT Study Area including the geology, soils, and groundwater of the Central Corridor LRT Study Area, and the likelihood of impacts from implementation of the Project. Section 4.2 discusses the streams, floodplains, wetlands, and critical areas that make up the surface waters in the Central Corridor LRT Study Area, and the likelihood of impacts from implementation of the Project. Section 4.3 presents descriptions of aquatic and terrestrial habitats in the Central Corridor LRT Study Area and conclusions about potential impacts. Section 4.4 identifies and discusses plant or animal species that are classified as rare, threatened, or endangered by federal and state agencies, and that exist in the Central Corridor LRT Study Area; and the likelihood of impacts from implementation of the Project.
