Description

A four-metric framework developed by Bitar et al. for auditing and grading institutional racial equity in faculty diversity, hiring, tenure distribution, and change over time.

Components

• Four-metric faculty equity grading framework (diversity relative to students, hiring equity, tenure equity, change over time): The report develops a four-metric framework for auditing faculty racial equity at individual institutions. Metrics 1-3 produce 0-100 scores converted to letter grades: faculty diversity relative to student diversity, equity in tenure-track versus contingent hiring, and equity in tenure distribution. Metric 4 measures percentage point change in faculty representation between 2005 and 2020. The framework is designed so advocates can "use these metrics and findings to see what's happening at institutions and push for change." (Jinann Bitar et al. (2022))
