Note: Categories are not mutually exclusive, as survey respondents were asked to select all answers that apply. Self-identified open-response gender identities are not reported because fewer responses were received than required to maintain confidentiality.

By underrepresented minority (URM) status

Figure view

Summary of responses
URM faculty respondents report lesser experiences of belonging. 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 academic units: some are highly positive and others highly critical.

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