New Numbers on Underrepresented Faculty Members
Tagged: ProfessorPosted on: November 1st, 2007
A new survey of the top 100 departments in 15 science and engineering disciplines (including the social sciences) finds that “few science and engineering departments have more than a single [underrepresented minority] faculty member.” Despite the increased representation of members of minority groups among bachelor’s and Ph.D. degree recipients, the analysis finds that the proportion of black, Hispanic and Native American instructors generally drops at every point in the academic pipeline, with the majority of minority faculty members concentrated at the assistant professor level.”*
