How will progress toward faculty diversity be assessed and reported to the UR community?
Annual reports on the status, progress, and challenges of diversity and inclusion initiatives are given to the Board of Trustees, Faculty Senate, and the University community. In addition, progress is continuously reported on the diversity web page. Reporting includes data on current faculty demographics by school and rank, as well as on applicants, recruitment practices, promotions, and departures. Qualitative studies may be considered in the future as a way to elicit information from faculty about the general climate at the UR, respondent’s experience at UR, and their ratings of the efficacy of institutional diversity initiatives being made. The data from these multiple methodologies will help provide a comprehensive, accurate, intellectually honest view of the quality and success of diversity initiatives at the University of Rochester.
