CLAS 2021 DEI Annual Report

Our staff play a vital role in the College’s success. Staff members are largely responsible for the daily operations within CLAS and are integral and impactful members of the campus community who contribute significantly to not only the work of the College, but also its culture and identity. We view staff diversity as equally essential to our institution as faculty and student diversity.

CLAS has made some improvements in the gender balance among staff from 66.6% female / 33.3% male last year to 64.5% / 35%, respectively, this year. As with faculty diversity, some of our numbers of staff with diverse identities have increased while others have decreased. As we work through our DEI Action Plan, CLAS will be paying attention to our retention practices among staff, and we intend to implement a program similar to Path to Distinction for the recruitment of and hiring process for new staff members, as well as conducting exit interviews to address and reduce reasons for leaving.

Comparing the 2020-2021 and 2021-2022 reported race/ethnicity and gender data, the following graphs capture our most recent staff numbers.
