  16. Conclusion • Among UTEP faculty, gender differences in assessment of the key climate components pronounced in 2004 have become negligible in 2007 • The UTEP faculty, regardless of gender, became more appreciative of gender diversity at all levels • The satisfaction with hiring, tenure and decision-making processes at the department level increased for both sexes, but more so for women • The climate areas that need further improvement are resource allocation and departmental decision-making • The overall results show continuous improvement in institutional climate at UTEP and increased satisfaction with working conditions
