A Study on the Status of Women Faculty in Science at MIT, School of Science, Massachusetts Institute of Technology
Trans-Academics

Conducted by the Committee on Women Faculty in the School of Science, this study grew out of informal conversations between three tenured women faculty members about the effects of gender on their careers. Based on interviews with junior and senior women faculty in the School of Science and department heads (all men), this study found that women faculty felt increasingly marginalized within their departments as their careers at MIT progressed; in addition, "data revealed that marginalization was often accompanied by differences in salary, space, awards, resources, and response to outside offers between men and women faculty." The Committee's reports led to immediate actions by the Dean of Science to change these disparities. The Faculty Resources Web page includes links to the study's report, as well as to similar studies prompted by the findings of the School of Science study, in other Schools at MIT.
