Multicultural Faculty
We have also made significant progress in the ethnic and racial composition of our full time faculty. Of the 1,165 full time faculty members, 16.1% are members of ethnic and racial minority groups (Asian Americans, Native Americans, African Americans, and Latinos), which is a significant increase from 1985, when just 7% of the faculty were from minority groups. The percentage of full time faculty members from underrepresented groups (Native Americans, African Americans, and Latinos) increased from 3.5% in 1985 to 7% in 2002. The gender diversity of the faculty also continues to increase. Today, women compose 30.4% of the full time faculty, up from 20.2% in 1985.
