Summary of Project Climate study conducted in Spring 2016. Mentoring Circle Workshops held in collaboration with UT-AWIS Grant submitted: Retention, Recruitment and Advancement of Women and URM in STEM. (Under Review) Created IDEAL-N website (http://www.utoledo.edu/offices/provost/idealn) Began Twitter feed: @UToledo_IdealN (14 followers) Collaborative picnic with BGSU IDEAL-N and AWIS Focus groups held March 2017

Planned Activities New faculty reception Continued focus groups to increase participation Article submission (late summer/early fall)

Proposed Activities Mentoring circles and repeat workshops to train facilitators in order to expand reach Quantitative survey to STEM faculty only to measure gender differences in perceptions and outcomes. If funded, seminar highlighting women in STEM at UT (to include UT students and outreach to local high schools)

Results of Climate Study Climate study showed that very little formal mentoring takes place at UT. Women reported higher levels of stress than men. They were less satisfied with start up funds and reported less time for scholarly work than men. URM reported high levels of racial/ethnic bias in general (~45-60%) and women reported higher levels than men. Approximately 1/3 of female faculty reported gender bias, negative attitudes towards women with children and lower access to resources.

Themes from qualitative data Women that were established in their careers were delighted to be asked about barriers to success and mentoring needs. Thought we need to have a formal mentoring program for all because gender specific programs send the message that women “can’t make it on their own”. At least one established professor indicated that women in science should not have children if they want a career. All felt that having families was not encouraged.

Themes from qualitative data (con’t) Less established professors think that maternity leave is a nice gesture, but useless, especially stopping the tenure clock. Those with labs can’t take a leave or stop their clock. Fear of being stigmatized by the “mommy track” if they stop the clock. Believe that the two leave limit is a means of controlling family size. Argue that the leave is biased to force mom to take the leave over dad because of dual couple restrictions.

Themes from qualitative data (con’t) Lecturers/instructors are viewed as “cannon fodder”. No professional development incentives or time to stay professionally active. Perceived gender bias in some colleges and ethnicity bias in others. Some made decisions not to pursue Ph.D.s or tenure tracks because they “wanted a family”.

Themes from qualitative data (con’t) Mentoring would be welcome by less established, but it is viewed as organic and occurring naturally. Can’t be forced. Barriers are viewed more in terms of age and not gender. “Younger” male colleagues are welcoming, collegial and provide mentoring. “Older” colleagues, male and female, are less approachable or invested. “Older” women described as “bitter” towards young colleagues with children.

Limitations and Future Work Small samples Currently lacking nursing and engineering faculty for focus groups. Mentoring circles appear to be an attractive option.
