Diversity Efforts: 
has a Minorities and Philosophy (MAP) chapter or similar diversity group
hosts invited speakers who are members of underrepresented groups at least annually
has hosted an event focused on diversity and inclusion within the past year
provides annual sexual harassment, bystander, and climate training (directly or through our institution)
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)
educates faculty and staff about disability accommodations and how to obtain them (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 implemented measures to combat implicit bias in the evaluation of students and faculty
has a mentoring program for junior faculty and/or graduate students that addresses issues of diversity and inclusion
Additional efforts to increase inclusiveness: 
We funded and ran the second Networking and Mentoring Workshop for Graduate Student Women in Philosophy (a third is in the planning stages); we support a weekly reading group for undergraduate women interested in going on in philosophy; and we ran the first COMPASS workshop, which is a workshop for women or trans-identified undergraduates who wish to go on in Philosophy. The success of the COMPASS workshop encouraged us to be in touch with other schools to see whether they would like to run COMPASS workshops too. SO far Stanford, UNC Chapel Hill, USC, and Michigan have all agreed to run COMPASS workshops.
