Summary: In light of negative findings released by MIT and other research universities, in spring 2000 the President's Commission on the Status of Women (PCSW) saw the need for studying faculty gender equity issues on Emory's campus. At PCSW's request, the IR Office completed an analysis on faculty gender equity at the university. The analysis is divided into three sections: The first discusses the representation and hiring of women faculty at various professorial ranks, tenure rates, and promotion to professor by gender; and representation of women in leadership roles and among holders of endowed professorships. The second section analyzes faculty attrition by gender. The last discusses results of a salary equity analysis conducted on the cohort of 2000-01 tenured and tenure track non-medical faculty. As a result of the study, several recommendations for adopting policy are offered that include conducting periodic salary-and promotion-equity studies; monitoring merit increases; and using labor pool data in recruiting efforts.
