Strategies to Improve Equity in Faculty Hiring
Resource Description
“Through targeted recruitment and interventions to support their success during
training, the fraction of trainees (graduate students and postdoctoral fellows) in academic
science from historically underrepresented groups has steadily increased. However, this trend
has not translated to a concomitant increase in the number of faculty from these underrepresented groups.” This journal article offers strategies that departments and research institutions
can develop to increase equity in faculty hiring and promotion to address the lack of racial and gender diversity among their faculty.
