Engineering
than
females.
Of
the total undergraduate students
enrolled as of last fall, 3,307 were
white, 1,002 were Asian, 296 were
Hispanic and only 138 were Black,
according to the Office of the
Registrar Ethnicity Report.
“In a lot of ways, ethnic diversity
is a bigger problem than gender
diversity,” Fedewa said.
In
an
already
white-male-
dominated field — despite the
increase of Science, Technology,
Engineering and Math programs
geared
toward
females
and
minorities — the question is
raised as to what exactly these
figures mean for the College of
Engineering.
Faculty and Staff
Faculty and staff positions at
the University as a whole have
traditionally been male-dominated.
According
to
the
Faculty
Headcount report as of March 30,
2016, of total professor positions, 73
percent were held by males and 27
percent were held by females. Only
20 percent were held by minorities.
Though more associate professor
positions were given to females and
minorities — with 63 percent being
held by males, 37 percent held by
females and 30 percent being held
by minorities — this information
sheds light on an obvious gap.
Seventy-five
percent
of
all
faculty and staff at the Ann Arbor
campus as of November 2015 were
white, according to the University
Human Capital Reporting Tool
Demographic Trends — a slight
decrease from 76.6 percent in 2011.
The report also indicated 54.7
percent of all faculty and staff were
male, with 45.3 percent female.
This, too, was more balanced with
gender representation than in 2011.
Noemi Mirkin — a faculty
adviser for the University chapter
of the Association for Women
in Science who has been at the
University for over 30 years — said
she has experienced sexism in the
past, particularly as a physicist,
but she added that she’s seen an
improvement in recent years.
“There’s
this
feeling
that’s
called subtle sexism, and what
it is is it’s a form of exclusion:
collegial exclusion,” Mirkin said.
“Women are made to feel invisible
or unimportant, either through
physical, social or professional
isolation. I did feel that in many
instances where you’re not taken
seriously or whatever, I would say,
if a man said it, it was OK. If I said
it, it was like I was invisible. I think
that that has changed. It mostly has
changed because there are more
women — even though we haven’t
reached a critical mass in some
places, there are more women —
and so it’s a lot harder to discard
them.”
While
the
University
has
been making efforts to improve
the campus climate, there is
room
for
improvement
with
the
consideration
of
females
and
minorities,
especially
in
collaboration
with
University
President Mark Schlissel’s new
Diversity, Equity and Inclusion
Plan.
Efforts
have
included
increasing student discussion and
the creation of a strategic plan.
Diversity, Equity and Inclusion
According to the Office of
the Registrar Total Enrollment
Overview, only 4.82 percent of
incoming freshman in fall 2015
were Black — a number that has
remained fairly consistent in recent
years. Last September, Schlissel
formally
launched
a
planning
process
to
improve
Diversity,
Equity and Inclusion on campus.
The DEI campaign comes in wake
of requests for an increase in Black
student
enrollment
following
the#BBUM campaign, an initiative
started by the Black Student Union
in 2013 to draw attention to issues
of race and diversity on campus.
“Dedication
to
academic
excellence for the public good is
inseparable from our commitment
to diversity, equity and inclusion,”
Schlissel said at the diversity
summit held September 9, which
aimed to create dialogue about
creating a more inclusive campus.
“We cannot be excellent without
being diverse in the broadest sense
of that word.”
At
the
summit,
Schlissel
highlighted
the
importance
of enhancing diversity, which,
according
to
him,
depends
on
collaboration
between
the
University administration and each
department on campus.
Robert Scott, director of the
University’s Center for Engineering
Diversity and Outreach, said each
college within the University has
its own unique plan to increase
diversity, equity and inclusion
through a series of programs,
recruitment
methods
and
strategies aimed at improving the
racial climate on campus.
“(Diversity)
goes
beyond
ethnicity and gender to also sexual
orientation,
able-bodiedness,
personality, socioeconomic status,
international status, et cetera,”
