学术界也不能幸免于导致社会持续不平等的偏见。我们迫切需要彻底检查和拆除当前的评估实践，这些评估实践在学术管道的多个点上维护不公平。研究生入学和教师晋升是两个把关的领域，在这两个领域中，重新构想和重新分配常用评估指标的权重是有必要的。我们定义并促进动态、灵活的整体评估模型的使用，这些模型可以通过首先识别和承认导致学术界种族和民族差异的偏见来实现。学术机构的领导人必须加紧推动采用这些修订后的评估指标。
Academics are not immune to the biases contributing to persistent inequalities in society. We face an urgent need to overhaul and dismantle current evaluation practices that uphold inequities at multiple points along the academic pipeline. Graduate admissions and faculty advancement are two arenas of gatekeeping in which a reimagining and redistribution of weighting of commonly used evaluation metrics are warranted. We define and promote the use of dynamic, flexible holistic evaluation models that can be implemented by first recognizing and acknowledging the biases that contribute to racial and ethnic disparities in academia. Leaders of academic institutions must step up to drive adoption of these revised evaluation metrics.
