The FAS IR study and GEC interpretation with recommendations can be found on the FAS web site • Please email Ms Sherri Katz for the URL sherri.katz@nyu.edu Additional recommendations (1) • We need to hire more women and URM faculty, especially in depts which are male- dominated; we need to be vigilant about starting salaries • We need to continue to monitor faculty in this study using the same methodology, adding to the database for both TT & NTTFTF 15

Additional recommendations (2) • New data acquisition for future analysis should be considered: – Evaluate teaching loads : CAS vs GSAS; large vs small size; solo- vs team-taught – Evaluate selection of faculty for internal and nominations for external Honors, Awards, & Grants – Internal research support – evaluate access to res. Assts, support staff as well as other forms of direct internal research support – Climate survey Additional recommendations (3) • Request CASH ask chairs to begin to maintain records of other major dept leadership roles of TT and NTTFTF (excluding chairs, DGS, DUGS) – chairs of search committees, – PhD admissions and awards committees – Etc. • the culture of each dept is different so these responsibilities will vary . 16
