CLAS 2021 DEI Annual Report

FACULTY DIVERSITY

The following graphs compare the 2020-2021 and 2021-2022 reported demographic data for race/ethnicity and gender.

Increasing faculty diversity is one of the College’s most significant DEI goals and is critical to fostering the community defined in our mission. This goal is enmeshed with our goals to recruit and retain diverse students, too, because we know how much it matters for students to learn from instructors with whom they can identify. To promote growth in this area, CLAS has standardized the use of the Path to Distinction program in recruitment efforts, which supports hiring committees in addressing implicit bias during the hiring process. The College has also increased its use of exit interviews to build awareness of challenges surrounding retention and inform our actions and interventions in the future.

In the last year, the gender balance in the College has moved to be slightly more male dominated at 51.7%. Overall, the gender balance is fairly close and favorable given the size of the College’s faculty. The CLAS DEI Committee would like to note that the gender data has been collected and reported as binary. While we don’t view gender as binary, our data is binary at this time.
