ADVANCE CCNY: Blueprint for Increased Representation and Advancement of Women in STEM

该项目将为纽约市立大学系统中的所有教职员工，特别是城市学院(CCNY)的女性创造一个公平和相互支持的环境。城市学院是该系统中的旗舰理工科学校，也是一所为少数群体服务的机构。CCNY的变化可能会影响其他大学，并在整个系统中推动女性在科学、技术、工程和数学(STEM)领域取得进步。CCNY将对教员的看法、机构政策和做法以及STEM中妇女的代表性和提升情况进行自我评估，以此作为制定蓝图的一种手段。CCNY先进的女性和少数族裔教职员工将为超过一半的女性学生提供明显的榜样，其中许多人来自少数群体或弱势背景。随着城市学院进入向研究密集型大学转型的下一个阶段，它面临着忠于其开放和包容性卓越的使命，同时提升其研究形象和声誉的挑战。这项提议的目标是确定促进或阻碍城市学院STEM女性发展的文化和环境因素。这些信息将用于执行新的政策，以确保晋升是中性的，并为有效提高妇女的职业地位提供蓝图。该项目的具体目标如下：(A)找出和找出阻碍女性STEM教员任职和提高的障碍；(B)确定不同性别、种族/族裔、职级和学科的教职员工和管理人员之间的知觉差异；(C)更好地了解文化和环境对这些障碍和知觉差异的影响；(D)通过有针对性的举措，消除障碍和纠正目前的不平等现象，实现体制转型。将使用混合方法从教职员工那里获取信息，这些信息将在政策审查期间使用，以制定机构转型的蓝图。数据收集部分将用于创建一个系统的数据集，将来可以用来监测变化。

This project will create a blueprint to foster an equitable and supportive environment for all faculty members, especially women at City College (CCNY) in the City University of New York system. City College is the flagship science and engineering school in the system and a minority-serving institution. Change at CCNY is likely to impact the other colleges and lead to advancing women in Science, Technology, Engineering, and Mathematics (STEM) fields throughout the system. CCNY will conduct a self-assessment of faculty perceptions, institutional policies and practices, and of the representation and advancement of women in STEM as a means towards developing the blueprint. Advancing women and minority faculty at CCNY will provide visible role models for more than half of the student population that is female, many of whom are from minority or disadvantaged backgrounds.As City College moves into its next phase in transforming itself into a research-intensive university, it faces the challenge of remaining true to its mission of access and inclusive excellence, while upgrading its research profile and reputation. The goals of this proposal are to identify the cultural and environmental factors that promote or hinder the advancement of STEM women at City College. This information will be used to implement new policies to ensure that advancement is gender neutral and to provide a blueprint for effective career advancement of women. The specific objectives of the project are as follows: (a) to locate and identify obstacles to the representation and advancement of women STEM faculty; (b) to determine perceptual differences among faculty and administrators of different genders, races/ethnicities, ranks and disciplines; (c) to better understand cultural and environmental influences on these obstacles and perceptual differences; (d) to effect institutional transformation through targeted initiatives to remove barriers and remedy current inequities. A mixed methods approach will be used to obtain information from faculty that will be used alongside the policy review to develop the blueprint for institutional transformation. The data collection portion will be used to create a systematic data set that may be used in the future to monitor change.
