Early research experiences have proven to be a high impact practice with respect to retention and graduation. 我们的 work is partially in response to student demands to provide increased and improved access to, and better communicate about, scholarships, and other financial support for URM students across the university. 

SOTES and Retention, Tenure & 促销活动 

The SOTES and RTP subcommittee works to foreground experiences of faculty of color in two main areas within the student evaluations and the tenure and retention processes. 1) We examine faculty experiences of SOTES. While there is robust research demonstrating the biases of SOTES as the intersection of race, gender, and sexual orientation, far less is known about how faculty experience student feedback. 2) 我们看到k to identify and create needed supports for faculty of color during the RTP process. 此外, we advocate for systemic changes at the university level in teaching assessment and RTP evaluation to create more inclusive, supportive environments and processes that more accurately and seamlessly assess faculty teaching and faculty performance.
