Trends and Issues in Recruiting and Retaining Women and Minority Faculty May 11, 2005

Overview of Today s Program Some background information on trends in faculty employment Full-time vs. part-time faculty Faculty by tenure status Faculty distribution by gender and race/ethnicity Although the proportion of women faculty has been rising, women are still under-represented Same for minority faculty

Overview (continued) Under-representation of women in higher education (Ehrenberg) Statistics on the proportions of new PhDs awarded to minorities and women Reasons for the under-representation of female faculty Under-representation of minorities in higher education (Jones) Particularly apparent in science and engineering fields What can universities do to foster diversity on campus?

Why Are Female Faculty Members Underrepresented at Research Universities Relative to Liberal Arts Colleges Gender differences in preferences for teaching vs. research Perceptions by female PhDs that research universities are not hospitable environments for them Perceptions by female PhDs that there is more gender discrimination against female faculty at research universities Actual gender discrimination against female PhDs in the hiring process and against female faculty in salary, tenure, promotion and resource allocation decisions at research universities The difficulty of combining family and career at research universities

Issues Relating To The Conflict Between Family And Career That Professional Women Face Are Not Unique To Academia Why are female lawyers underrepresented among the partners of large law firms? Why are female doctors underrepresented among neurosurgeons and orthopedic surgeons and overrepresented among family practice physicians and pediatricians?

Family Issues Analyses of the Survey of Doctorate Recipients a large biennial national longitudinal study that follows about 160,000 PhD Recipients - indicate that for people who received their PhDs between 1978 and 1984, started off in tenure track positions at universities and were still working in academia 12 to 14 years later.

Family Issues Men who had children within 5 years of receiving their PhDs were 38% more likely to have received tenure than their female counterparts who had children within 5 years of receiving their PhDs. While 70% of the male faculty members with tenure were married with children, only 44% of the female faculty members with tenure were married with children. Moreover, female faculty members with tenure were twice as likely as male faculty members with tenure to be single. Only one in three women who takes a university job before having a child ever becomes a mother Women with tenure or on tenure-tracks who were married at the time they began their first academic jobs were much more likely than their male counterparts to get divorced or separated Moreover, women were twice as likely as men in a survey of all tenure and tenure-track faculty at the University of California System to indicate that they had fewer children than they wanted Source: Mary Ann Mason and Mark Goulden, Do Babies Matter (Part II)? Academe (November/December 2004) We Mean Business in Higher Education

The University Of California Family Friendly Programs The ability of tenured or tenure-track faculty with newborn or newly adopted children to request partial or full-relief from teaching duties for one semester The ability of tenure-track faculty to similarly request that their tenure clock be stopped for a year Paid leave for six weeks and unpaid leave for up to a year for the care of a child or the child of a spouse or a domestic partner

UC Survey Results Very few faculty members in general and female faculty members in particular used these policies because: Information on the programs was not known to all faculty Information on eligibility was not always known The workplace climate discouraged women from taking advantage of these policies for example, fears that tenure committees would assume that women who had taken leaves to take care of children were not serious about their academic work or would devalue resumes that had gaps in publications because of the time off.

The Result With the assistance of the Albert P. Sloan Foundation, the UC System has developed THE UC FAMILY FRIENDLY EDGE to alter the workplace and faculty culture to accommodate families.

The UC Family Friendly Edge A flexible part-time option for tenured and tenure-track faculty that can be used for up to 5 years as life-course needs arise A guarantee to make high quality child care available A commitment to assist new faculty members with spousal/partner employment issues A postdoctoral fellowship program to encourage PhDs who have taken time off from their careers for family reasons to reenter academia Educating faculty committees that family-related gaps in resumes should be discounted in hiring and tenure decisions Establishing summer camps and school-break child care for faculty children Establishing emergency backup child care programs Establishing benefits for faculty who want to adopt children

Other Examples of Family Friendly Policies Adopted or Being Considered Funding for child care when faculty members are presenting papers at conferences The development of permanent part-time tenure track positions Concern for a wider range of issues that families face, for example serious illnesses of self or family members, and elder care and support for faculty facing these problems.

7 Essential Components of a Successful Faculty Diversity Plan Commitment from the top Recurring allocation of resources Central oversight but decentralized responsibility Strategic Hiring Process Benchmarks / Track Results A supportive culture Accountability & Rewards

Strategic Hiring Process Caroline Turner, Arizona State University Hypothesis: At predominantly white institutions most faculty hires of persons of color will occur when at least one of the three conditions are met: A diverse search committee A job description written expressly to enhance the candidate pool An institutional intervention strategy.

Conclusion Institutional practices that simply follow usual procedures will not yield diverse hires and that unless institutions employ active intervention strategies, little progress will be made.

The Study of New Scholars Gather satisfaction data by gender, race, and field in a standardized fashion so that it is comparable over time and across institutions. Create a constructive competition among academic institutions to be a great place to work for all junior faculty. Bring market forces to bear on an otherwise insular academy. Provide a diagnostic tool to aid in the recruitment and retention of junior faculty. Source: Richard Chait and Cathy Trower, Harvard University, Graduate College of Education

The Study of New Scholars Purpose Make the academy a more equitable and appealing place for new faculty to work in order to recruit and retain top talent. Increase the recruitment, retention, status, success, and satisfaction of faculty of color and white women. Create a better informed doctoral student and faculty population. Give voice to early career faculty. Ultimately produce culture change on campuses!
