Diversity Efforts:
has a Minorities and Philosophy (MAP) chapter or similar diversity group
has conducted a departmental climate survey within the past three years
hosts invited speakers who are members of underrepresented groups at least annually
ensures department events are accessible to participants with disabilities
provides accommodations for faculty and guest speakers with disabilities
provides accommodations for students, faculty, and others with disabilities (directly or through our institution)
offers multiple courses in which philosophers from underrepresented groups are included on the syllabus in proportion to their numbers in the profession and/or which focus on philosophical issues related to race, gender, disability, class, etc.
has a mentoring program for junior faculty and/or graduate students that addresses issues of diversity and inclusion
Additional efforts to increase inclusiveness:
Hiring: We are actively attempting to increase the diversity of members of our faculty. We have in the last few years hired one woman and one faculty member of Asian decent (out of four total hires in the tenure track). We have made several additional senior offers to women, none were accepted.
Graduate: We actively recruit women and minority students to our graduate program. We offer the "Horacio Arlo-Costa fellowship" for a graduate student who is from an under-represented group. We also run a summer school for undergraduates designed to attract students to our graduate program. Close to half of the students in the summer school are women.
