Summary:

Why do we see so little progress in diversifying faculty at America 's colleges, universities, and professional schools? This book explores this important question and provides steps for hastening faculty diversity. Drawing on her extensive consultant practice and expertise as well as research and scholarship from several fields, Dr. Moody provides practical and feasible ways to improve faculty recruitment, retention, and mentorship, especially of under-represented women in science-related fields and non-immigrant minorities in all fields. The second edition of Faculty Diversity offers new insights, strategies, and caveats to the current state of faculty diversity. Moody provides an essential, reliable, and eye-opening guide for colleges, medical and other professional schools that are frustrated in their efforts to diversify their faculty.
