In 2013-14, the department formed a Committee on Climate, Diversity, and Inclusiveness. The committee undertook a climate survey of Ph.D. students, which was followed by extensive discussions among faculty and graduate students about how to make the department as good a place as as possible for all of its members. As a result, a number of recommendations were issued and endorsed by the department in 2014-15.
