On Doing More for Faculty Diversity

On the heels of #ShutDownSTEM, the Association of Public and Land-grant Universities published a new report and guidebook on steps institutions and policy makers can take to broaden faculty diversity efforts in the sciences. The report, “Strengthening Pathways to Faculty Careers in STEM: Recommendations for Systemic Change to Support Underrepresented Groups,” notes that just 10 percent of science, technology, engineering and math faculty at four-year institutions are from underrepresented backgrounds.
