Women faculty's participation in academic science and engineering
is critical for future US global competitiveness, yet their
underrepresentation particularly in senior positions remains a
widespread problem. To overcome persistent institutional resistance
and barriers to change, the NSF ADVANCE institutional
transformation initiative, instituted in 2001, seeks to increase
the workforce participation of women faculty in academic science
and engineering through systematic institutional transformation.
This book assesses the equity, diversity and inclusion outcomes of
the changes underway at 19 universities. It provides a
comprehensive, stand-alone description of successful approaches to
increase the recruitment, advancement and retention of women
faculty throughout the academic career pipeline. The findings show
that targeted institutional transformation at these 19 U.S.
universities has resulted in significant increases in women
faculty's workforce participation, as well as improved gender
equity and inclusion. Analyses by discipline show that the greatest
changes have occurred within engineering and natural science
disciplines at these universities. Yet the results also point to
the overall continued underrepresentation of women faculty in
academic science and engineering at the nation's research
universities. A framework of organizational change is derived to
serve as a template to academic and other organizations seeking
transformation to enhance gender equity, diversity and inclusion.
