我们对各大学领导人的公开声明和声明进行调查，以深入了解与妇女及其在科学，技术，工程和数学（STEM）和其他学科领域的参与和进步有关的制度价值观和环境。采用内容分析技术，专注于这些演讲中的术语使用和关键字相互依赖性，我们的研究结果表明，虽然性别平等是作为一个单独的主题在其本身的权利，大学领导人提出的性别问题的背景下，STEM参与主要是在结合只有其他主题。正如预期的那样，数据也支持的论点表明，一般多样性作为一个重要的目标，在大学代表的言论拥护。然而，问题仍然存在，关于这些演讲是否预示着具体的机构承诺和反应相对于实现多样性，性别平等和性别公平的STEM教授。版权所有2009年由政策研究组织。
We undertake an investigation of public statements and pronouncements from leaders at various universities to gain insight into institutional values and environments relative to women and their participation and advancement in science, technology, engineering, and mathematics (STEM) and other disciplinary fields. Employing content analysis techniques to focus on terminological use and keyword interdependencies in these speeches, our findings indicate that, while gender equality is addressed as a separate topic in its own right, university leaders raise issues of gender in the context of STEM participation primarily in conjunction only with other topics. As expected, the data also support arguments suggesting diversity in general as an important goal espoused in the rhetoric of university representatives. Questions remain, however, concerning whether these speeches presage concrete institutional commitments and responses relative to the achievement of diversity, gender equality, and gender equity in the STEM professoriate.
