MU-ADVANCE Initiatives Impact University Efforts.
Although MU-ADVANCE targets female
faculty in Science, Technology,
Engineering, and Mathematics, the
program has transcended the
boundaries of these disciplines to
encompass the entire university,
through recruitment, policy change,
and faculty development initiatives.

As an initiative of MU-ADVANCE,
recruitment is a high priority. Although the Program is making a
concerted effort to change recruitment efforts, gearing
toward a more diverse faculty, we recognize that this
does not necessarily mean that the atmosphere will
change. In other words, Marshall can attempt to recruit
more women, but that does not guarantee that the offers
extended will be accepted. (1/25/2008) More information...

women and 9 men from STEM departments voluntarily
resigned. The percentage of women among faculty leaving
STEM departments was 36%, exceeding the percent
