Abstract

As data on the benefits of faculty diversity accrue, colleges and universities have worked toward this goal. However, faculty racial demographics have not changed significantly for many institutions. Many campus interventions seek to increase faculty diversity through hiring. Yet it is critical for colleges and universities to add faculty retention strategies to their broader efforts around faculty diversity for more significant changes to occur. From our internal data, and as part of our work with the University of Michigan ADVANCE Program, we identified four areas of intervention to improve the retention of faculty of color: climate, evaluation processes, leadership opportunities, and service equity. We then developed yearlong workshop programming for chairs and unit leaders to help them build a toolbox around organizational change to improve faculty retention. Based on our experiences, we offer the three strategies to promote institutional change in this area: 1) use data to identify challenges and make a compelling argument; 2) frame retention as preemptive; and 3) focus on both individual and structural change strategies. We hope these recommendations are useful to others engaged in institutional change efforts on their campus and can lead to meaningful improvements in faculty diversity across institutions.

让校园领导参与变革举措以保留有色人种教师的三个策略。
随着有关教员多样性益处的数据不断积累,各大院校一直在朝着这一目标努力。然而,对于许多机构来说,教师的种族人口统计并没有显著变化。许多校园干预措施试图通过招聘来增加教师的多样性。然而,对于学院和大学来说,在围绕教师多样性的更广泛努力中加入教师保留战略,以实现更重大的变化,这一点至关重要。根据我们的内部数据,作为我们与密歇根大学ADVANCE项目合作的一部分,我们确定了四个干预领域,以提高有色人种教师的保留率:气候、评估流程、领导机会和服务公平。然后,我们为主席和部门领导制定了为期一年的研讨会计划,帮助他们围绕组织变革建立一个工具箱,以提高教师留任率。根据我们的经验,我们提出了促进这一领域制度变革的三种策略:1)利用数据识别挑战并提出令人信服的论点;2)帧保留为抢占式;3)关注个人和结构变革策略。我们希望这些建议对其他致力于校园制度变革的人有用,并能在各机构的教师多样性方面取得有意义的改善。
