RECRUITING & RETAINING DIVERSE FACULTY COS Workshop Thursday, September 24, 2020 Barbara Hargrave, Professor Department of Biological Sciences and The Frank Reidy Center for Bioelectrics
Several Reasons for Minority Faculty Attrition include (but are not limited to): Isolation and Lack of Inclusivity How Does This Picture Make YOU Feel?
STEREOTYPING (OR RACISM)
Final Thoughts: Creating a supportive and welcoming environment benefits all faculty; leadership should consider the challenges that members of underrepresented groups face (Gasman, Kim and Nguyen 2011). To build outstanding and diverse departments we need to take a page from competitive athletics and the world of business by aggressively pursuing diverse candidates. Indeed, we might have to help in developing these candidates when the potential is there.
