ADVANCE Adaptation: SF State TRANSFORMS - Advancing Equity in Faculty Workload and Professional Development

旧金山州立大学(SF State)将通过调整举措来改变旧金山州立大学的校园政策和做法，从而减少STEM女教员晋升方面的差距。该项目建立在一个概念框架的基础上，该框架断言，种族和性别不平等和不公正的交叉层面创造了一个有利有弊的权力制度，这是学术机构结构的基础，并对提高妇女的地位产生负面影响，特别是那些由于种族、族裔和其他社会类别而代表性不足的妇女。旧金山州立大学是一所教学密集型、主要是本科的公立大学，被归类为为西班牙裔服务的机构，并有资格参加联邦亚裔美国人、美洲原住民为太平洋岛民服务的机构项目。该高级适应项目建立在SF State通过高级IT-Catalyst项目所做的先前工作的基础上。该项目旨在通过针对三个相互关联的机构问题领域，缓解造成SF State不平等的系统性因素：1)不公平的服务工作量，对性别和种族/族裔代表性不足的教职员工造成不成比例的负担；2)缺乏机构结构来支持赋予集体权力的专业奖学金做法；以及3)缺乏宣传和结构，以减轻隐性偏见的作用以及大学结构中相关的跨部门性别和种族假设。该项目将实施三项倡议，改编自高等教育中经过验证的努力，以解决类似的问题领域：1)SF State Value将专注于通过开发工作量仪表板来缓解学术部门导致服务分配不公平的做法；2)SF State Expanies将通过促进协作机制和旨在支持、种子和维持学术研究的跨学科教师网络，承担加强教师学术和专业发展的相关挑战；3)国家科学基金会的恢复将通过建立教师公平研究员计划来解决增加倡导和承诺减少性别和种族/民族不平等的根本需求，并通过创建一个结构来解决影响所有教师的偏见，以解决影响所有教师的偏见。NSF高级计划旨在通过专注于识别和消除阻碍不同教师充分参与和提升学术机构的组织障碍来促进性别公平。阻碍公平的组织障碍可能存在于政策、流程、实践以及组织文化和氛围中。先期“适应”奖为学术、非营利性高等教育机构以及非学术、非营利性组织的适应和采用循证策略提供支持。该奖项反映了NSF的法定使命，并通过使用基金会的智力价值和更广泛的影响审查标准进行评估，被认为值得支持。

San Francisco State University (SF State) will reduce disparities in the advancement of women faculty in STEM by adapting initiatives to transform SF State campus policies and practices. The project builds on a conceptual framework that asserts that intersectional dimensions of racial and gender inequity and injustice create a system of power with advantages and disadvantages that underlie the structure of academic institutions and negatively impacts the advancement of women, specifically those who are underrepresented because of race, ethnicity and other social categories. SF State is a teaching intensive, primarily undergraduate public university classified as a Hispanic-Serving Institution and eligible to participate in federal Asian American, Native American Pacific Islander-Serving Institution programs. This ADVANCE Adaptation project builds on prior work done by SF State through an ADVANCE IT-Catalyst project. The project is designed to mitigate the systemic factors at SF State that create inequities, by targeting three interrelated institutional problem areas: 1) inequitable service workload that taxes gender and racial/ethnic underrepresented (UR) faculty disproportionately, 2) lack of institutional structures to support professional scholarship practices that empower collectives; and 3) lack of advocacy and structure to mitigate the role of implicit bias and the associated intersectional gender and race assumptions in university structures. The project will implement three initiatives adapted from proven efforts in higher education to address similar problem areas: 1) SF State VALUES will focus on mitigating practices in academic departments that result in the inequitable allocation of service through the development of workload dashboards; 2) SF State EXPANDS will take on the related challenge of enhancing faculty scholarship and professional development by fostering mechanisms for collaboration and interdisciplinary faculty networks designed to support, seed and sustain scholarship; and 3) SF State RESTORES will address the underlying need for increased advocacy and commitment to reducing gender and racial/ethnic inequity by establishing a Faculty Equity Fellows Program, and developing processes to address biases that affect all faculty by creating a structure to address complaints that do not rise to the level of Title IX reporting.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 "Adaptation" awards provide support for the adaptation and adoption of evidence-based strategies to academic, non-profit institution of higher education as well as non-academic, non-profit organizations.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.
