Aberystwyth says that its Institute of Geography and Earth Sciences was the first British university department to offer single honours degrees in human geography and physical geography.[9]
In 2007 the University came under criticism for its record on sustainability, ranking 97th out of 106 UK higher education institutions in that year's Green League table.[10] In 2012 the university was listed in the table's "Failed, no award" section, ranking equal 132nd out of 145.[11] In 2013 it ranked equal 135th out of 143, and was listed again as "Failed, no award".[12] However, recently the University has taken impressive strides forward with regards to tackling sustainability, achieving the Silver Phase of the EcoCampus award in October 2014.[13] The EcoCampus scheme is designed to guide institutions through the implementation of an environmental management system in line with ISO 14001.[14]. Furthermore, the criteria used to generate the People & Planet Green League is being revised for 2015 under the guidance of the EAUC following concern over its reliability.[15]. The University now has an environmental policy which can be found on its sustainability website.[16]
In 2013, the University and College Union alleged bullying behaviour by Aberystwyth University managers, and said staff were fearful for their jobs. University president Sir Emyr Jones Parry said in a BBC radio interview, "I don't believe the views set out are representative and I don't recognise the picture." He also said, "Due process is rigorously applied in Aberystwyth." Economist John Cable resigned his emeritus professorship, describing the university's management as "disproportionate, aggressive and confrontational". The singer Peter Karrie resigned his honorary fellowship in protest, he said, at the apparent determination to "ruin one of the finest arts centres in the country", and because he was "unable to support any regime that can treat their staff in such a cruel and appalling manner."[17]
