Does the institution offer a socially responsible investment option for retirement plans?:
Yes

A brief description of the socially responsible investment option for retirement plans:

TIAA-CREF offers the CREF Social Choice Account for Furman University employees. This account screens out securities (both stocks and bonds) from companies whose businesses do not meet our internal guidelines. These guidelines include companies who make fire arms, alcohol, tobacco, and have poor track record in regards to the environment. In addition to this fund, TIAA-CREF has taken a position to remove all securities associated with the disturbing issues in Sudan in all of our accounts. Also, we practice our philosophy of Corporate Governance which attempts to limit excessive compensation for the executives associated with the companies we invest the retirement funds in.
