Faculty Diversity in the Health Sciences Report –
NOW AVAILABLE
The Report on Faculty Diversity in the Health Sciences at the University of California was compiled by the Office of Academic Advancement under the direction of Dr. M. Ines Boechat, Professor and Chief of Pediatric Radiology from the David Geffen School of Medicine, UCLA. Both the summary and report are available online at: http://www.ucop.edu/acadadv/hsfaculty-equity-project/report.html This report reveals the low number and percentage of underrepresented minority faculty in UC’s health sciences, and the low percentages of women faculty in most health science fields, despite national trends. Gains over the last ten years have been insignificant to modest, depending on the field. With UC’s increased faculty retirements over the next decade, there is a unique opportunity to address the under-representation of minority and women scholars among the UC faculty.
