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:
The TIAA-CREF Social Choice Equity Fund (TRSCX)is available to any and all university employees who are eligible for the retirement plan. The fund seeks a favorable long-term total return that reflects the investment performance of the overall U.S. stock market, as measured by the Russell 3000 Index, while giving special consideration to certain social criteria. It primarily invests in U.S.-based companies that are screened to meet or exceed certain environmental, social and governance criteria. The evaluation process seeks out companies that are: strong stewards of the environment; devoted to serving local communities and society in general; committed to high labor standards; dedicated to producing high-quality, safe products; and those managed in an ethical manner.
