We are a cross-functional team of healthcare providers, administrators, communicators, educators, leaders, and policy specialists from across the UCSF. Our members represent decades of expertise at UCSF and beyond, bringing a variety of experiences and perspectives to our work together.
The Committee on the Status of Women (CSW) is a diversity committee within the Office of Diversity and Outreach. The CSW evolved out of a committee on equal opportunity to identify and analyze issues relating to the status of women faculty, staff and students at UCSF; to inform and educate the campus community about conditions that affect the status of women within the University; and to advise the Chancellor regarding policies and procedures that will improve conditions for women.
