By gender

Figure view

Summary of responses
Female and non-binary/transgender/rather not say/self-identified FAS faculty respondents report lesser experiences of belonging overall, both within their department/program and across Yale.

Table view

Note: Categories are not mutually exclusive, as survey respondents were asked to select all answers that apply. To maintain confidentiality for categories with small response sizes, “Non-binary”, “Transgender”, “Rather not say”, and self-identified open-response gender identities have been grouped together. If any group contains fewer than 5 respondents, all response counts are rounded to the nearest 5 to prevent inference of specific group sizes.

By faculty track

Figure view

Summary of responses
FAS ladder and instructional faculty respondents report similar senses of belonging at Yale, but ladder faculty respondents report a stronger sense of belonging within their department/program than instructional faculty. FAS research faculty respondents report less experience of belonging overall and especially outside their department/program.

Table view

By underrepresented minority (URM) status

Figure view

Summary of responses
FAS URM faculty respondents report lesser experiences of belonging than non-URM faculty. The responses are more polarized for URM than non-URM faculty, with higher levels of non-belonging and less neutrality. A deeper view of responses shows variation within and across different departments/programs: some are highly positive and others highly critical.

Note: URM stands for “underrepresented minority.” See our Data Definitions page for more information.
