  1. TCNJ Advancement Program (TAP) Equity at a Highly Selective Public PUIPUI Diane C. BatesAssociate Professor of Sociology The College of New Jerseybates@tcnj.edu

  2. The College of New Jersey

  3. Estimated workload of “teacher-scholars” All TCNJ Faculty Women Faculty

  4. Scholarly output in past 3 years *p<.01 ^p=.051

  5. TAP • Mentorship Initiative • Professional Development Initiative • Family-friendly Initiatives • Social Science Initiative • Faculty database • Gender Equity Interviews and Surveys • Pre- and Post- Climate Surveys

  6. Is the public, PUI environment friendlier for women in science? In many ways, yes. In some ways, no.

  7. [1] http://www.nsf.gov/statistics [2] TAP Faculty Database (2009-2010) 3 PhD data for all Electrical Engineering PhD.s, including Computer Engineering for NSF data 4 PhD data for all Mathematics PhD.s, including Mathematical Statistics for NSF data

  8. Gender by cohort All TCNJ STEM at TCNJ

  9. Climate Survey • Electronic survey with three follow-ups sent to full-time tenured and tenure-track faculty on campus during Fall 2012 semester • 216/318 responded (67.92%), although only 198 actually completed the survey (62.26%) • Survey respondents generally match population by discipline, although slight overrepresentation of respondents from the sciences (44.1% in sample, 38.6% in population) and underrepresentation from professional disciplines (22.9% in sample, 28.0% in population) • Survey respondents generally match population by rank, with the largest difference being among associate professors (48.6% of sample, 45.0% in population)

  10. Climate in Department and at College Department Climate College Climate

  11. Department Climate Department Climate Indexes Index details • Positive climate index (alpha = .917) • I am treated with respect by colleagues. • I feel that my colleagues value my research. • I feel like I “fit” in my department. • Colleagues in my department regularly solicit my opinion about work-related matters (such as teaching, research, and service). • I have received positive feedback about my research from department colleagues. • Faculty in my department recognize the contributions I make to my field. • I would be happy to spend the rest of my career in this department. • It would take a lot to get me to leave this department. • Collegiality index (alpha = .886) • Faculty in my department are supportive of one another. • Faculty in my department are sometimes rude to one another. (Reverse coded) • Faculty in my department enjoy working together. • Tension among faculty in my department makes working here uncomfortable. (Reverse coded) • Faculty in my department spend time to get to know one another. • Negative climate index (alpha = .824) • I feel excluded from an informal network in my department. • I have to work harder than my departmental colleagues to be perceived as a legitimate scholar. • I do a great deal of work that is not formally recognized by my department. • I encounter unwritten rules concerning how one is expected to interact with colleagues. • I feel isolated in my department. • Transparency index (alpha = .924): • I feel I can voice my opinions openly in my department. • Major decisions are made with adequate input from the faculty. • It is clear how resources (e.g., space, funded research assistants, etc.) are allocated. • Major decisions are made and implemented with adequate explanation. • It is clear how teaching assignments are made. • It is clear how committee assignments are determined. • My department operates in a transparent way.

  13. Gender and Time To Rank Years from Hire to Associate Years from Hire to Full

  14. Satisfaction with Promotion Process N = 158

  15. Satisfaction with Work-Family Balance Means by Discipline Medians by Discipline

  16. Parenting Obligations Young Children (0-5) School-Aged Children (5-18)

  17. Caregiver Obligations Obligations to Children Obligations to Elderly, Chronically Ill, and/or Disabled

  18. The Two-Body Problem

  19. Geography of Family Influence:Did having a spouse/partner in the area affect your decision to… Apply to TCNJ? Accept at TCNJ?

  20. So is our public, PUI friendlier? • Better than the pipeline (in most cases) • Perceptions of climate do not vary by gender • Promotion process does not vary by gender, objectively or subjectively • Work-Family balance remains a problem • Women have greater caregiver obligations • Dual career issues are critical for women in science
