Welcome message:
TCU Academic Affairs has undertaken this study to examine its gender diversity practices with respect to faculty. The study was not motivated by a particular complaint or problem at TCU. Rather, it has identified and documented achievements, as well as priorities that will help map a future course for greater equity and diversity in the faculty ranks.
This site has chronicled the study process and progress. These study documents are now
