  2. Focus on Leadership Status • For the 2012-2013 academic year, the committee collected pilot data from representative schools across UNC-Chapel Hill. • The purpose was to show whether or not there are gender associated discrepancies in tenure status, academic rank, or academic leadership roles at UNC. • This study showed in most units there are substantial discrepancies in academic rank and tenure status between men and women.

Units Studied • School of Medicine • Clinical • Basic Science • College of Arts and Sciences • Division of Natural Sciences and Mathematics • Division of Social and Behavioral Sciences • Division of Fine Arts and Humanities • School of Law • School of Public Health • University Libraries • School of Information and Library Science

  6. Resolution 2013-9. On Monitoring the Status of Women in Leadership Positions • The Provost is requested to monitor the distribution of women compared to men in leadership positions, including tenure status, academic rank, and any other data deemed pertinent by the Provost and Dean as part of the five-year review of academic deans. • When discrepancies in leadership positions held by women are identified, the Provost is requested to direct the dean under review to develop an action plan and timeline to remedy the situation, and to report progress in implementing the plan at least annually.

  7. Barriers • The United States Supreme Court has issued decisions forbidding racial quotas and some kinds of racial preferences in state university admissions, which may limit the extent to or manner in which gender may be considered in state university hiring and promotion.

  8. Activities • Engaged women’s group across campus • Continue the reporting part of the resolution • Focus on on-site childcare and teleconferencing • Chairs nominating women for national/institutional leadership positions

  9. Action Plan • Engage University lawyers to propose a way to express the relevant goals that are consistent with the current state of the law • Present revised proposal to facilitate promotion of women to the Provost • Appreciate the opportunity to get input from Chancellor Folt
