Diversity Efforts: 
hosts invited speakers who are members of underrepresented groups at least annually
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)
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.

Additional efforts to increase inclusiveness

One way is that we neither collect nor maintain any record of perceived or expressed identities, so there are no divisions of 'us' and 'them.' At the same time, we have added or are now adding several courses at the undergraduate and graduate levels that cover Asian philosophies and courses that focus on women in philosophy. In terms of recent applications and acceptances to the MA program, the department often achieves about 30% women.
