Dashboard Indicators by The Office for Women's Affairs

Dashboard Indicators Spring 2012

on the Status of Women at IU Bloomington Prepared by the Office for Womenâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Affairs

Welcome

to the 2012 Dashboard Indicators on the Status of Women of the Bloomington campus of Indiana University, which we are providing as part of the celebratory events of the 40th anniversary of the Office for Women’s Affairs’ (OWA) mission. Dashboard Indicators provide a snapshot of some of the important issues that OWA and the university have always been concerned with, including women’s leadership, faculty composition, faculty recognition, composition of the staff workforce, as well as enrollment and persistence data for students. While there are many other areas that data and time constraints did not allow us to include, the available indicators provide an opportunity for readers to examine progress made as well as challenges that remain. In keeping with the sage that “one picture is worth a thousand words,” we have provided graphics that illustrate striking evidence of the successes and challenges concerning the status of women. As with any good inquiry, the data also raises new questions about mechanisms, opportunities, constraints, existing policies as well as practices and goals that, we hope, others with long-standing interests in these areas in addition to those who are newly empowered by the current data will, indeed, take up in the future. OWA is very grateful to Dr. Eric Mokube, who serves OWA as the Director of the Savant Program, Research and our Fiscal Officer. His leadership has been very important in data gathering and analysis. Furthermore, we wish to express gratitude as well to members of our Faculty and Staff Advisory Boards and current OWA staff, who offered advice about what we should include, coupled with comments on earlier drafts of the document. We are also grateful to previous OWA Deans, their team members and allies in the university as well as Bloomington communities, on whose shoulders we stand. Last, but certainly not least, we are especially grateful to the Office of the Vice-Provost for Faculty and Academic Affairs (VPFAA), Office of Affirmative Action and University Human Resource Services (UHRS), for providing the data that we have utilized to configure the Dashboard Indicators. Finally, we thank each of you in advance for taking time out of your schedules to examine, peruse and to offer your comments on the data as you work individually and collectively to improve and to move forward the standing of Indiana University by elevating the status of women faculty, staff and students.

While men comprise the solid majority of full-time faculty on the Bloomington campus, the data also show a steady increase in the hiring of female faculty, with the sharpest increase happening between 2002 and 2003.

With the exception of the Asian women and the multi ethnic categories, almost every other groupâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s representation was flat. It mirrored the pattern for full-time faculty (see Fig. 10).

Resignations among female faculty have generally been highest at the rank of Assistant Professor, which is consistent with the national trends. What is troubling about the IUB data are the resignations by tenured faculty at the Associate and full Professor rank. There is a suggestion from anecdotal data that resignations are due to a variety of issues, including better offers from other universities, climate issues at departmental levels and lack of suitable employment for spouses.

There are racial differences in faculty resignations. The majority of African-American and Latinas resigned after obtaining tenure. There is not a clear pattern of resignation among white women. Among Asian women, the data are more mixed, with a majority resigning before tenure in one year, but most resigning after obtaining tenure.

Among Asian women, the data are more mixed, with none resigning at the full and Associate Professorial rank, but two resigning at the Assistant Professorial level.

Such faculty are expected to exemplify standards of excellence in the performance of teaching, research and service within a specific discipline/profession.

Men comprise almost 80% of the named Professors/Endowed Chairs, while women comprise 20%. With the exception of modest improvements at the beginning and at the end of the decade, very little has changed.

Women staff members are disproportionally represented among the lower-paid clerical category and underrepresented among the higher paid skilled craft and professional categories. The EEO categories are based on the Salary Grade and the job responsibility they are related to. “Full-time” is defined as someone who works 40 standard hours/week. This may be a person who has 2 jobs that each requires 20 standard hours of work/ week. “Part-time” is anything less than a total of 40 standard hours/week.

Asian women have experienced an increase in enrollment patterns. Black women, who had the highest enrollment record among minority groups in the 1980s, continue to see their numbers decline. Latina and Native American women’s enrollment patterns have decreased and flat lined, respectively. Overall, the student enrollments are certainly not proportionate to growth among women of color in the state.

Earlier in the decade, women were surpassing men in the percentage of degrees conferred at the bachelor’s degree level and were at par with men at the master’s degree level. The gender gap is also closing at the doctoral level.
