Climate/Equity Studies
| GRACE Project, College of Medicine, University of Arizona |
|
Commissioned by the Dean of the College of Medicine, the GRACE
Project (Generating Respect for All in a Climate of academic Excellence)
studied the "causes of disparity between male and female
faculty in the College of Medicine (COM) in track assignment,
promotion to higher ranks, and leadership positions, with the
ultimate goal of identifying and implementing solutions to documented
barriers." The Web site contains the project hypotheses,
faculty advancement survey, survey results, discussion of survey
results, and the final report for the project.

The survey included questions on climate issues, workload and
productivity, family work-life issues, career satisfaction, and
organizational structure, policies, and resources. The Web site
includes links to the study's Executive Summary, report,

| A Study on the Status of Women Faculty in Science at MIT, School of Science, Massachusetts Institute of Technology |
|
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.
