By gender
Summary of responses
Female and non-binary/transgender/rather not say/self-identified FAS faculty respondents report feeling they are treated less respectfully by students and trainees than male FAS faculty feel.
Female and non-binary/transgender/rather not say/self-identified FAS faculty respondents report experiencing more threats and insults than male FAS faculty, both inside and out of their departments/programs.
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.
