provides annual sexual harassment, bystander, and climate training (directly or through our institution)
provides accommodations for faculty and guest speakers with disabilities
provides accommodations for students, faculty, and others with disabilities (directly or through our institution)
Additional efforts to increase inclusiveness:
UIC is an urban research university with one of the most diverse student bodies in the country. The philosophy department has historically had one of the highest percentages of women faculty amongst research departments, and continues to do so. Of 16 tenure-line faculty, five are women (all tenured). UIC provides targeted graduate student fellowships to members of under-represented minorities, and minority students in philosophy have generally been successful in winning them. We have been using dedicated departmental fellowship funds to recruit women students. We cultivate and foster a welcoming and open environment in the department (in and out of class), and have regular open department meetings to address issues of inclusion, diversity and climate. We encourage all instructors to pay atention to issues of diversity in their syllabi. There is a standing faculty/graduate student reading group in feminist philosophy.
