discrimination were experienced or observed, responsiveness
of department's curriculum to concerns of various

against student or colleague, importance of proposed
programs, sex, age, full-time/part-time status, rank, tenure
status, school, years of experience, degrees, political
ideology, disability, race/ethnicity, religious preference,
