CED's History of Diversity

Despite anti-Asian exclusion laws in the first half of the 20^th Century, there were a surprising number of Asian students in the architecture program. Women students also contributed to the architecture and landscape programs from the beginning, growing to a sizeable number until and during World War II and decreasing alarmingly in the years thereafter. The War also affected Japanese students whose education was put on hold by Executive Order 9066 sending them to internment centers. As a result of the social and political turmoil of the late 1960s and early 70s, various student groups were founded and diversity issues put on the College’s agenda. The Landscape Department has a long history of women among the faculty which increased for all departments partly as a result of legislation which played a role in the hiring of diverse faculty and staff. Diversity remains an important issue at CED.
