  • Using Data from the Collaborative on Academic Careers in Higher Education to Monitor Progress in Gender Equity
    Layne, Margaret E. (2017-10-09)
    The Collaborative on Academic Careers in Higher Education (COACHE) is a national project focused on improving faculty recruitment, development, and retention. Run out of the Harvard Graduate School of Education, the Collaborative surveys faculty at participating institutions about their experiences with tenure and promotion, collegiality, recognition, mentoring, work/life balance, and other aspects of faculty work. Institutions receive an analysis of the responses of their faculty and benchmark data from comparable institutions, and have the option to receive a copy of the data set for additional analyses. Virginia Tech has participated in the COACHE survey four times, using the data to identify areas of inequity and implement interventions. In the first year of participation, the survey identified faculty concerns about the clarity of expectations for tenure and promotion and dissatisfaction with work/life balance. In response, AdvanceVT organized workshops on the promotion process and reviewed and revised work/life balance policies. In subsequent surveys, college and department level analyses revealed variations in perceptions of equity and collegiality across the institution. Data is shared with deans and department heads to design and implement follow-up actions.

    Evans, Amber D. (Virginia Tech, 2009-01-16)
    AdvanceVT is a comprehensive program to promote and enhance the careers of women faculty at Virginia Tech, especially those in science and engineering fields, through institutional transformation. Each year AdvanceVT, with the assistance of the staff in Institutional Research, compiles statistics on the progress of hires, retention and the career advancement of women faculty at Virginia Tech. While much of this data focuses on the Colleges of Science and Engineering, AdvanceVT also collects data on colleges university wide, as well as at benchmark institutions. These data serve to inform the university community on the progress of AdvanceVT’s mission to promote and enhance the careers of women in academic science and engineering at Virginia Tech through institutional transformation. This poster includes charts and graphs that visually represent the progress of women faculty at Virginia Tech. Brief explanations are also provided to further clarify the data.
