ADVANCE Institutional Transformation at the University of New Mexico

该高级方案旨在通过重点查明和消除阻碍女性教员充分参与和提高学术机构地位的组织障碍，促进性别平等。阻碍公平的组织障碍可能存在于政策、实践、文化和组织氛围等领域。高级机构变革(Advance-IT)路径支持高等教育机构内创新组织变革战略的发展，以增强科学、技术、工程和数学(STEM)学科的性别公平。新墨西哥大学(UNM)的高级IT项目将创建STEM多样性与公平研究所(IDEAS)，作为机构变革的组织催化剂，在STEM教师的招聘、保留和晋升方面促进性别平等。北卡罗来纳大学是一个少数族裔占多数的州，是一所卡内基高级研究活动大学，也是一所为拉美裔服务的机构，学生群体多样化。该项目将实施战略，以吸引STEM领导人，包括高级教师，作为合作伙伴；创建指导和网络计划；并提高影响教师的政策和程序的透明度。IDEAS将实施社会学家Dobbin和Kalev开发的“管理参与模式”，该模式建议让管理者参与促进多样性的计划，包括与代表不足的群体建立联系，以增强他们的动力并改变他们的态度。这些想法将展示如何将这种管理参与模式应用于大学，这是一种基于证据的方法，以促进组织领导的多样性。此外，想法将纳入一个交叉的观点，以解决STEM中少数族裔妇女的独特情况。想法将产生证据，以便比较分析影响提高妇女和少数群体在不同类型组织中的地位的因素，以及最适合不同妇女群体的战略。该项目的目标包括创造一种更具包容性、平等性和支持性的体制氛围，以及提高对联合国大学任期和晋升过程的满意度和公平感。

The 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 women faculty in academic institutions. Organizational barriers that inhibit equity may exist in areas such as policy, practice, culture, and organizational climate. The ADVANCE Institutional Transformation (ADVANCE-IT) track supports the development of innovative organizational change strategies within an institution of higher education to enhance gender equity in the science, technology, engineering, and math (STEM) disciplines.The University of New Mexico's (UNM) ADVANCE-IT project will create the Institute for Diversity and Equity Across STEM (IDEAS) to serve as the organizational catalyst of institutional transformation, promoting gender equity in the recruitment, retention and advancement of STEM faculty. UNM is in a majority-minority state and is a Carnegie Very High Research Activity University and a Hispanic-Serving Institution with a diverse student body. The project will implement strategies to engage STEM leaders, including senior faculty, as partners; create mentoring and networking programs; and improve the transparency of policies and processes that impact faculty.IDEAS will implement a "managerial engagement model" developed by sociologists Dobbin and Kalev which proposes that engaging managers in programs to promote diversity, including connections with underrepresented groups, enhances their motivation and changes attitudes. IDEAS will show how this managerial engagement model, an evidence-based approach to promote diversity in organizational leadership, can be applied to universities. In addition, IDEAS will incorporate an intersectional perspective to address the distinct situations of minority women in STEM. IDEAS will generate evidence to inform comparative analyses of factors influencing the advancement of women and minorities across different types of organizations as well as of the strategies most appropriate to different subgroups of women. The goals of the project include the creation of a more inclusive, egalitarian, and supportive institutional climate and improving satisfaction with, and perceptions of fairness of, the tenure and promotion process at UNM.
