The update addresses some of students' concerns by breaking down faculty into gender and racial categories, but the administration has not answered everything or agreed to all of the changes the students advocate.
Although the students requested information on candidates for faculty positions, Murphy said those details are
unavailable until the finalists have been determined and agree to continue in the search process.
Murphy also took a stand in opposition to the students' wish to get rid of the GRE as an admissions requirement.
"That wouldn't be in my view appropriate," he said. "You need multiple measures in students' portfolios."
In the report, Murphy also said he could not support the students' request for an annual educational conference for alumni of color because GSE does not support events that are not inclusive.
Throughout the report, Murphy emphasizes the progress GSE has already made.
"If somebody reads this memo, it's hard to conclude the Ed School isn't doing a heck of a lot," Murphy said.
