The Advancing Communities of Equity through Institutional Transformation (ACE-IT) program at St. John’s University will focus on assessing the climate experienced by minoritized faculty, particularly women in STEM, and improving institutional culture and structures so that all members of the faculty are treated equitably, regardless of sex, gender, race, ethnicity, class, age, ability, faculty appointment type, or any other non-merit status. The St. John’s ACE-IT Leadership Team will engage the university community to assess the faculty experience, pilot equity and inclusion initiatives, and develop a five-year equity strategic plan for STEM faculty. While the ACE-IT program will emphasize the experiences of women faculty in STEM, it is anticipated that this work will inform diversity, equity, and inclusion (DEI) initiatives for faculty more generally. A large number of St. John’s faculty are in STEM and STEM-adjacent disciplines, housed across five different schools/colleges, each with distinctive microcultures and microclimates.The ACE-IT program will emphasize structural transformation efforts to achieve equity and inclusion in the academic workplace. This will be accomplished through a comprehensive institutional assessment, implementation of pilot programming, and the development of a five-year equity strategic plan for STEM faculty, through an intersectional and culturally responsive approach. The ACE-IT work will be informed by literature associated with STEM faculty equity, organizational change, social location theory, intersectionality, and systems of oppression. The ACE-IT program will also focus on understanding and improving the faculty experience for our large population of contingent faculty. The ACE-IT program is designed to center the experiences of minoritized faculty and to develop an overall faculty equity plan that transforms our institutional structures, culture, and climate to ensure the success of all.The NSF ADVANCE program is designed to foster gender equity through a focus on the identification and elimination of organizational barriers that impede the full participation and advancement of diverse faculty in academic institutions. Organizational barriers that inhibit equity may exist in policies, processes, practices, and the organizational culture and climate. ADVANCE "Catalyst" awards provide support for institutional equity assessments and the development of five-year faculty equity strategic plans at an academic, non-profit institution of higher education.This award reflects NSF's statutory mission and has been deemed worthy of support through evaluation using the Foundation's intellectual merit and broader impacts review criteria.

在圣约翰大学通过机构转型（ACE-IT）计划推进公平的社区将侧重于评估少数民族教师，特别是妇女在干经历的气候，并改善机构文化和结构，使所有成员的教师都得到公平对待，无论性别，性别，种族，民族，阶级，年龄，能力，教师任命类型，或其他任何不值得的地位。该圣约翰ACE-IT领导团队将参与大学社区评估教师的经验，试点公平和包容性的举措，并制定一个五年的股权战略计划，为干教师。虽然ACE-IT计划将强调女教师在干的经验，预计这项工作将通知多样性，公平和包容性（DEI）的举措，教师更普遍。大量的圣约翰的教师都在干和干相邻学科，在五个不同的学校/学院，每一个独特的微文化和微气候安置。ACE-IT计划将强调结构转型的努力，以实现公平和包容的学术工作场所。这将通过全面的机构评估，试点方案的实施以及通过跨部门和文化响应的方法为STEM教师制定五年公平战略计划来实现。ACE-IT工作将通过与STEM教师公平，组织变革，社会定位理论，交叉性和压迫系统相关的文献来了解。 ACE-IT计划还将专注于了解和改善我们庞大的特遣队教师群体的教师体验。 ACE-IT计划旨在集中少数民族教师的经验，并制定一个整体的教师公平计划，改变我们的制度结构，文化和气候，以确保所有人的成功。NSF ADVANCE计划旨在通过重点识别和消除阻碍学术机构中多元化教师充分参与和发展的组织障碍，促进性别平等。 阻碍公平的组织障碍可能存在于政策、流程、做法以及组织文化和氛围中。 ADVANCE“催化剂”奖项为学术性、非营利高等教育机构的机构公平评估和五年期教师公平战略计划的制定提供支持。该奖项反映了NSF的法定使命，并通过使用基金会的知识价值和更广泛的影响审查标准进行评估，被认为值得支持。
