The University of Montana Partnership for Comprehensive Equity (UM PACE) is an alliance of central administrators, deans, department heads/chairs and faculty has been formed to bring about lasting change in the following: Institutional policy, the number of tenure-line women on the faculty, the empowerment of faculty, and the creation of a statewide network of women scientists. Each of these goals will be reached through a coordinated series of activities. The efficacy of these activities will provide a national level model for change in universities located in small, rural communities. Policy change will result from three major initiatives: * The PI of this proposal will be appointed as Special Assistant to the Provost for Comprehensive Equity. Provost Lois Muir will oversee and support this project. * A campus-wide policy committee of representatives from all components of our alliance, with legal advice, will tackle hard issues such as spousal hires and adjustments in the tenure clock to develop a consistent and clear policy. * Each science department will undertake a self-evaluation with the assistance of the UM PACE staff. This evaluation will provide detailed information to be used in development of department-level diversity enhancement plans. These two committees will also serve an all-important training function as faculty members learn experientially, and through materials provided by the staff, about the place of women in science at UM and nationally. UM PACE will create three new tenure-line faculty positions to increase the number of tenure-line women scientists at UM. These positions will be filled opportunistically at the request of departments and deans for new expansion hires that increase the number of women scientists on the UM campus. In addition, there will be a partnership with expansion programs now in place at UM. UM PACE will work proactively with recruitment issues through training of faculty and preparation of .best practices. guidelines for recruiting both junior and senior women. UM PACE will provide information and networking for the partners/spouses of all candidates interviewed for science positions. Accommodation of spouses is a central issue for UM which is located in a small, rural community. Increasing the total number of women faculty in the sciences also requires retention. Faculty will be empowered through a carefully developed mentoring component for women scientists. A keystone, annual, three-day workshop will cement the gains made through on-campus activities. Leadership training will be emphasized. Retention will also be enhanced through training of deans, department heads, and key faculty. UM PACE will create a statewide network of women scientists through outreach to Montana.s seven tribal colleges (nearly 1/4 of the nation.s total). Through visits to tribal colleges, visits of tribal college faculty to UM, involvement in the summer workshop, and internet communication, faculty from these institutions will become involved. The place of women scientists at UM parallels the place of women at the national level. The higher education system in Montana is directly comparable to that of 14 other rural states. In addition, UM can also be compared to public institutions of moderate size located outside of urban centers in more populous states. Universities in small communities have unique problems in recruiting and retaining diverse faculty. UM PACE will provide a national level model for change in such universities.

蒙大拿大学全面公平合作伙伴关系（UM PACE）是中央管理员，院长，部门负责人/主席和教师的联盟，已经形成了以下方面的持久变化：机构政策，终身教职女性的数量，教师的赋权，以及创建全州范围的女科学家网络。 每一项目标都将通过一系列协调一致的活动来实现。 这些活动的效果将为位于小型农村社区的大学的变革提供一个国家级的模式。 政策变化将产生于三个主要举措：* 本提案的主要负责人将被任命为全面平等问题教务长特别助理。 Lois Muir院长将监督和支持该项目。 * 一个由来自我们联盟所有组成部分的代表组成的全校政策委员会，将提供法律的建议，解决诸如配偶雇用和任期时钟调整等棘手问题，以制定一个一致和明确的政策。 * 每个科学部门将在UM PACE工作人员的协助下进行自我评估。 这一评价将提供详细资料，用于制定部门一级的多样性增强计划。 这两个委员会也将作为教师学习经验，并通过工作人员提供的材料，关于妇女在科学的UM和国家的地位非常重要的培训功能。UM PACE将创建三个新的终身教职职位，以增加UM终身教职女科学家的数量。 这些职位将在各部门和院长的要求下进行机会主义的填补，以增加UM校园内女科学家的数量。 此外，将有一个伙伴关系，扩大计划，现在在UM。 UM PACE将通过教师培训和最佳实践的准备积极主动地与招聘问题合作。招聘初级和高级妇女的指导方针。 UM PACE将为所有面试科学职位的候选人的合作伙伴/配偶提供信息和网络。 配偶的住宿是UM的一个中心问题，UM位于一个小型农村社区。 增加科学领域女教师的总数也需要留住女教师。 将通过为女科学家精心制定的指导内容，增强教师的权能。 一个关键的，每年一次，为期三天的研讨会将巩固通过校园活动取得的成果。 领导力培训将得到重视。 保留也将通过院长，部门负责人和关键教师的培训得到加强。 UM PACE将通过与蒙大拿州的七所部落学院（占全国总数的近1/4）的联系，建立一个全州范围的女科学家网络。 通过访问部落学院，部落学院教师访问UM，参与夏季研讨会和互联网交流，这些机构的教师将参与其中。 女科学家在澳大的地位与妇女在国家一级的地位相当。 蒙大拿州的高等教育系统与其他14个农村州的高等教育系统直接可比。 此外，UM还可以与位于人口较多的州的城市中心以外的中等规模的公共机构进行比较。 小社区的大学在招聘和留住不同的教师方面有独特的问题。UM PACE将为这些大学的变革提供一个国家级的模式。
