In the climate survey
administered by MU-ADVANCE
in April 2007, participants were
asked to report on mentors.
Results from this survey
revealed that 43% of female and 31%
of male respondents did have some
form of mentor. Women ranked their mentors
higher than men as advocates and
role models, but lower in terms of
advice on balancing work/life.

University Data Reveals a Need for
Additional Resources to Support
Preparation Toward Tenure and
Promotion.
A major expectation of NSF-ADVANCE
institutions is an extensive
self-study that includes the
collection and analysis of
university data. With that in mind,
MU-ADVANCE reviewed
promotion and tenure outcomes for
STEM departments in CITE, COLA, COS,
and the SOM. Marshall university
data revealed that in these
departments
74% of women and 99% of men were
successful in obtaining tenure
and/or promotion for academic years
2003/04 through 2006/07. (11/9/2007)
