Who We Are

Advancing Gender Equity at OSU

The Faculty Council for Gender Equity (FCGE) advocates for women faculty, transgender faculty, non-binary faculty, gender non-conforming faculty, and faculty who self-identify as historically underrepresented in academia because of their gender identity at OSU through educational programming, award funding, research, and career support. We also serve in an advisory capacity to the administration and university community.

What We Do

Advocate for gender equity at OSU

We study needs and problems that impact women faculty, transgender faculty, non-binary faculty, gender non-conforming faculty, and faculty who self-identify as historically underrepresented in academia because of their gender identity in institutions of higher education, and we recommend actions that promote progress toward equity. We provide space for those on OSU’s campus interested in raising awareness and developing action to share resources and spark movement. We share resources and connect individuals across our community.

We Have a New Name!

In spring 2023, the executive committee proposed changing our name to Faculty Council for Gender Equity (FCGE) and bylaw updates that clarify the roles and responsibilities of the committee. These changes passed with a majority vote and we are excited to move forward with a name that better reflects our efforts!
