ADVANCE Institutional Transformation at Clemson University

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。克莱姆森大学将实施Tigers Advance(通过性别平等、保留和支持来改变机构)：一套政策变化、程序创新和机构计划，以提高克莱姆森大学STEM中女性的代表性和地位。Tigers Advance有五个目标：(A)改变文化和改善校园氛围，(B)增加妇女在STEM学科中的代表性，(C)确保公平分配工作量，(D)加强教师指导和领导力发展，以及(E)实施有利于家庭的政策。嵌入该项目的社会科学研究项目将侧重于教席与服务任务和教职员工工作量相关的决策。克莱姆森大学的高级IT项目以组织认同理论为基础。这是一种创新的方法，设想通过为公平对待所有教职员工和改善对所有教职员工的机构支持创造条件，培养个人对大学的认同感。克莱姆森是南卡罗来纳州领先的STEM教育机构，将通过一个地区性高等教育机构网络进行工作，传达调查结果，提供政策建议，并分享最佳实践，以确保STEM女性教员的招聘、晋升和留住。

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.Clemson University will implement TIGERS ADVANCE (Transforming the Institution through Gender Equity, Retention, and Support): a set of policy changes, procedural innovations, and institutional programs to improve the representation and status of women in STEM at Clemson. TIGERS ADVANCE has five goals: (a) transform the culture and improve the campus climate, (b) increase the representation of women in STEM disciplines, (c) ensure equitable workload distribution, (d) enhance faculty mentoring and leadership development, and (e) implement family-friendly policies. The social science research project embedded in the project will focus on chairs' decision making related to service assignments and workload among faculty. Clemson University's ADVANCE-IT project is grounded in organizational identity theory. This is an innovative approach that envisions fostering individual identification with the university by creating the conditions for fair treatment of and improved institutional support for all faculty. Clemson is the leading STEM education institution in South Carolina, and will work through a regional network of institutions of higher education to communicate findings, provide policy recommendations, and share best practices to ensure recruitment, advancement, and retention of STEM women faculty.
