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

该项目将制定一个蓝图，为纽约系统市立学院的所有教员，特别是女教员创造一个公平和有利的环境。 城市学院是该系统的旗舰科学和工程学院，也是一所为少数民族服务的机构。 CCNY的变化可能会影响其他学院，并导致整个系统中科学，技术，工程和数学（STEM）领域的女性进步。 CCNY将对教师的看法，机构政策和做法以及妇女在STEM中的代表性和地位进行自我评估，作为制定蓝图的手段。 CCNY的女性和少数民族教师的进步将为超过一半的女性学生提供可见的榜样，其中许多人来自少数民族或弱势背景。随着城市学院进入转型为研究密集型大学的下一阶段，它面临着继续忠实于其获取和包容卓越的使命的挑战，同时提升其研究形象和声誉。 该提案的目标是确定促进或阻碍城市学院STEM女性进步的文化和环境因素。这些信息将用于执行新政策，以确保晋升不分性别，并为妇女的有效职业晋升提供蓝图。 该项目的具体目标如下：（a）找出并查明妨碍STEM女教员的代表权和地位提高的障碍;（B）确定不同性别、种族/族裔、级别和学科的教员和管理人员之间的感知差异;（c）更好地了解文化和环境对这些障碍和感知差异的影响;（d）通过有针对性的举措实现体制转型，以消除障碍和纠正目前的不平等现象。 将采用混合方法从教师那里获得信息，这些信息将与政策审查一起用于制定机构转型的蓝图。 数据收集部分将用于建立一个系统化的数据集，将来可用于监测变化。

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.
