ADVANCE Partnerships for Adaptation, Implementation and Dissemination Award: Partnership for Faculty Equity and Diversity

加州大学（UC）系统的五个南部加州校区提议针对高级学术管理人员举办一系列讲习班和研讨会。合作校区有：欧文（UCI）、洛杉矶（UCLA）、滨江（UCR）、圣地亚哥（UCSD）和圣巴巴拉（UCSB）。拟议的讲习班和研讨会可以传播经验教训和最佳做法，使UCI能够在ADVANCE奖（2001年9月至今）期间大幅增加STEM领域雇用妇女和代表性不足的少数民族。虽然在招聘妇女加入国际学院方面取得了很大进展，但该伙伴关系将侧重于留住和提高妇女和少数民族教师地位的战略。研讨会促进理解，促进培训，并鼓励在欧文校区和其他先进举措开发的新方案的实施。机构转型和教师多样性的专家同意，最高管理层必须为院长和系主任提供多样性的问责制，以实施有效的招聘战略，保留和推进多元化的教授。为了使变革“向下渗透”到部门一级，高级管理人员需要制定使院长对其单位负责的战略，以便院长随后制定使部门负责的战略。椅子是上层管理人员和教师之间的关键环节。系主任在执行新政策方面的关键作用，如加州大学的家庭友好政策，加上不断更换可能没有获得公平执行所必需的人际关系和官僚技能的主席的挑战，意味着迫切需要对主席进行培训。 系主任作为“气候调节器”，在确保使用这种政策的教师不遭受其系内同事的报复方面发挥着重要作用。加州大学是美国最大的公立大学，拥有10个校区，学生人数超过20万，教职员工超过8,000人。该系统的学生群体是相当多样化的，但教师人口仍然主要是白色和男性。近年来，许多校园增加了雇用妇女和少数民族教师的比例，但通过严格的审查程序留住这些有前途的学者将需要管理人员能够实施新的政策（例如，家庭友好的政策），同时确保工作环境，欢迎来自不同背景的教师。执行小组由不同学科、种族和性别的学者和专业人员组成。这个团队的多样性将是实施一个吸引来自广泛背景的管理人员的方案的关键，并在整个计划的方案编制中对性别和种族问题保持敏感。 我们的期望是，教务长，院长和椅子的程序成为一个模型，为其他机构关心教师的公平和多样性。

The five southern California campuses of the University of California (UC) system propose an ongoingseries of workshops and seminars targeting senior academic administrators. The Partnership campusesare: Irvine (UCI), Los Angeles (UCLA), Riverside (UCR), San Diego (UCSD), and Santa Barbara (UCSB). The proposed workshops and seminars allow dissemination of lessons learned and best practices that have enabled UCI to dramatically increase hiring of women and underrepresented minorities in STEM fields during the ADVANCE award (September 2001-present). While excellent progress has been made in recruiting women to UCI, the Partnership will focus on strategies to retain and advance women and minority faculty. The workshops promote understanding, facilitate training, and encourage implementation of the novel programs developed at the Irvine campus and by other ADVANCE initiatives. Experts on institutional transformation and faculty diversity agree that the top administration must provide accountability for diversity for deans and department chairs to implement effective strategies for recruiting, retaining, and advancing a diverse professoriate. In order for changes to "filter down" to the departmental level, higher administrators need to develop strategies for holding deans accountable for their units so that the deans will then develop strategies for holding departments accountable. Chairs are the key link between upper level administrators and the faculty. Department chairs' key role in implementing new policies, like the UC family friendly policies, coupled with the challenge of constantly shifting chairs who may not have gained the interpersonal relations and bureaucratic skills essential for equitable implementation, implies a pressing need for chairs' training. Department chairs, as "climate regulators", serve an essential function in ensuring that faculty members who make use of such policies do not experience retaliation by their departmental colleagues.The University of California is the largest public university in the United States with over 200,000 studentson ten campuses employing more than 8,000 ladder-rank faculty members. The system's studentpopulation is quite diverse, yet the faculty population remains predominantly white and male. In recentyears, many campuses have increased the rate of hiring women and minority faculty members, yetretention of these promising scholars through the rigorous review process will require that administratorsare capable of implementing new policies (e.g., family friendly policies) while at the same time ensuring awork environment that welcomes faculty from diverse backgrounds. The Implementation Team involvesscholars and professionals who are diverse in terms of discipline, ethnicity, and gender. The diversity ofthis team will be key in implementing a program that appeals to administrators from broad backgroundsand weaves sensitivity to gender and ethnic issues throughout the planned programming. The expectation is that the programs for provosts, deans and chairs become a model for other institutions that care about faculty equity and diversity.
