Additional efforts to increase inclusiveness: 
The department has formed a Diversity and Inclusiveness Committee to promote further progress. In addition, thanks to the generosity of the Office of the Provost and the College of Liberal Arts Dean's Office, we now have a Graduate Student Fellowship for Diversity and Inclusion. The Fellow's duties include creating and maintaining a departmental web page that lists resources, organizing workshops for philosophy graduate students on the inclusive classroom, and helping put together a series of talks by distinguished philosophers on the full range of issues relating to diversity and inclusion to facilitate dialogue on and understanding of these very important issues. We continue to seek fellowships Purdue offers to students accepted to graduate school, on a competitive basis, to enhance diversity in the graduate student population. We have often, though not always, been successful. At the assistant professor level, half of our faculty are women. We have been successful at diversifying our colloquium series speakers.
Additional Information: 
Tuition: Funded students have tuition waived and pay only a small portion of student fees, currently $303. Attrition: The six students who left the program without receiving a doctorate did so before advancing to the dissertation stage, so none of them entered the job market before leaving.
