Students, parents, and government agencies need as much information
as possible about the outcomes of the higher education experience
and the extent to which they can expect a fair return on their
investment in higher education.In order to better understand the
concept of quality - enabling students to acquire knowledge in a
variety of disciplines and deep knowledge in at least one
discipline, as well as to develop a range of skills and habits of
mind that prepare them for career success, engaged citizenship,
intercultural competence, social responsibility, and continued
intellectual growth - an ad hoc planning committee of the National
Academies of Sciences, Engineering, and Medicine Board on Higher
Education and Workforce, with funding from the Lumina Foundation,
organized a workshop in Washington, D.C., on December 14-15,
2015.This report summarizes the presentations and discussion of
that event. Table of Contents Front Matter 1 Introduction 2

Seeking Solutions: Maximizing American Talent by Advancing Women of
Color in Academia is the summary of a 2013 conference convened by
the Committee on Women in Science, Engineering and Medicine of the
National Research Council to discuss the current status of women of
color in academia and explore the challenges and successful
initiatives for creating the institutional changes required to
increase representation of women of color at all levels of the
academic workforce. While the number of women, including minority
women, pursuing higher education in science, engineering and
medicine has grown, the number of minority women faculty in all
institutions of higher education has remained small and has grown
less rapidly than the numbers of nonminority women or minority men.
Seeking Solutions reviews the existing research on education and
academic career patterns for minority women in science,
engineering, and medicine to enhance understanding of the barriers
and challenges to the full participation of all minority women in
STEM disciplines and academic careers. Additionally, this report
identifies reliable and credible data source and data gaps, as well
as key aspects of exemplary policies and programs that are
effective in enhancing minority women's participation in faculty
ranks. Success in academia is predicated on many factors and is not
solely a function of talent. Seeking Solutions elucidates those
other factors and highlights ways that institutions and the
individuals working there can take action to create institutional
cultures hospitable to people of any gender, race, and ethnicity.
