DESCRIPTION OF FACULTY -
REPRESENTATION OF WOMEN AND MINORITY FACULTY BY SCHOOL AND RANK
School
of Medicine
·
In total there are 860
faculty in the School of Medicine (all tracks, full- and part-time), 75%
(645/860) of faculty are male and 25% are female (215/860).
·
Male (88%) and female (84%)
faculty are equally likely to be full time employees (p>.05).
·
Of
the full time faculty (n=750), however, men are significantly more
likely to be on the tenure track than are women (62% vs. 59%, p<.05).
·
Gender
is significantly associated with academic rank (four categories).
Men are significantly more likely to be senior faculty (21% of women and
33% of men are Full Professors) and women are more likely to be
Assistant Professors and Instructors (56% of women and 45% of men)
·
A
higher proportion of women than men have resigned or been terminated.
In the 1999-00 academic year 24% of faculty members were women (above),
but 36% of faculty resignations/terminations were women. There
have been higher proportions of women hired, but the number of women
faculty has remained relatively stable and no progress has been made in
increasing the proportion of women on the faculty
·
Ethnicity
is significantly associated with being a full-time employee and with
academic rank. Of the 860 faculty, Asians were more likely to be
full time (96% of Asians were full-time, 89% of Blacks, 85% of
Hispanics, and 85% of Whites, p=.004).
·
Under-represented
ethnic groups (Native American, Black, and Hispanic) were significantly
less likely to be senior faculty (p=.007); 36% of majority groups are
Full Professors and 21% of minority groups are Full Professors.
·
Only
8.6% (74/860) of faculty are under-represented minorities.
·
Resignation
and replacement rates among ethnic groups appear to be at approximately
the same proportion that they are represented on the faculty. In
the academic year 1999-00 8% of faculty were Hispanic or
African-American; 8% (13) of those who resigned and 13% (13) of new
hires were Hispanic or African-American.
School
Of Allied Health Sciences
·
The School of Allied Health
Sciences has 54 faculty, 8 of whom are part-time.
In the SAHS in the 1999-00 academic year, 57% of faculty were
women and 11% were under-represented ethnic groups (Hispanic or
African-American). UTMB
SAHS faculty are 83% (45/54) White, 9% (5/45) Hispanic, 6% (3/54)
Asian/Pacific Islander, and 2% (1/54) African-American.
·
Men are more likely to be
senior faculty: 6% of women
and 30% of men are at the rank of Full Professor.
·
The total number of women
stayed constant during the previous three years, as has the number of
minorities. The number of
minorities is so small that the overall loss of one minority faculty
member decreases the minorities from 11 to 9%.
School
of Nursing
·
The School of Nursing has
69 total faculty, 10 of whom are part-time. Although there are few men, they have greater representation
as senior faculty: 33% of
men and 11% of women are Full Professors.
