Yes

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

The University offers a socially responsible investment option for retirement plans through TIAA-CREF's Socially Responsible Fund. The fund seeks a favorable long-term total return that reflects the investment performance of the overall U.S. stock market while giving special consideration to certain social criteria. It normally invests at least 80% of its assets in equity securities. The fund's investments are subject to certain environmental, social and governance criteria. The evaluation process favors companies that are strong stewards of the environment; devoted to serving local communities; committed to higher labor standards; dedicated to producing high-quality and safe products; and those managed in an exemplary or ethical manner.
