SOCIAL EQUITY

3. 4. SOCIAL EQUITY Tulane University and the School of Architecture are committed to the achievement of equality and diversity in all aspects of the institution. Tulane is an Affirmative Action/Equal Employment Opportunity institution, and consequently its policy of non-discrimination includes recruitment, employment, retention, and promotion of the most qualified students, faculty and staff, regardless of an individual's race, sex, color, religion, national/ethnic origin, age, citizenship, marital status, sexual orientation, handicap or veteran status. Tulane University does not discriminate in its provisions of services and benefits and in its treatment of students, patients and employees. The School of Architecture actively fosters an atmosphere of candor and communication. Students serve on school committees and are represented at faculty meetings. In addition, there are all-school meetings at the beginning of each semester at which time the floor is opened for comment. Other venues for all-school discussion occur in monthly all-school meetings, whereby student concerns and comments are solicited and information regarding the program, upcoming events, among other information is disseminated. During the past two years, the School of Architecture has undertaken a protracted self-assessment of its curriculum. In addition, the constitution acts to ensure that all parties to the School are represented. A standard policy for all promotion, reappointment and tenure cases for both tenure/ tenure-track faculty and Professors in Practice has been written and adopted by the faculty. In every case, faculty input has been elicited, acknowledged and discussed at some length. Much of this input has been incorporated into the final documents. Under the constitution, faculty, staff, and students are represented at faculty meetings and on the various governance committees of the school. The ongoing retreats serve to provide a mechanism in which the School entertains voices of advocacy, concern and dissent. As shown in the NAAB Statistical Report (see Appendix), the current makeup of the student body enrolled in the professional program (First- through Fifth-Year, 85% of our student population) is approximately 53% female and 47% male. The percentage of minority students is approximately 15% (4% Afro-American, 5% Asian/Pacific Isle, 5% Hispanic), though the number of Hispanic students is clearly underrepresented, as many no longer specify their ethnic origin as such. In point of fact, students of any minority are no longer required by the University and the School of Architecture to designate their minority status. The makeup of the faculty (part-time and full-time) is approximately 33% female and 66% male, a significant improvement over the 17% female/83% male ratios tabled in a previous accreditation report (1994). TSA has two minority faculty members. The graduate program is smaller, but similar in percentages and diversity to the undergraduate program.
