By faculty track

Figure view

Summary of responses
Perceptions of respectful treatment by students and trainees are less strong in research faculty than instructional and ladder faculty.

Ladder faculty respondents report more experiences of feeling threatened or insulted than non-ladder faculty, both in their home unit and across Yale.

By gender

Figure view

Summary of responses
Female faculty respondents report feeling treated less respectfully by students and trainees than male faculty. All non-binary and/or transgender faculty respondents reported being treated respectfully by students.

Female and non-binary and/or transgender faculty respondents report higher frequencies of threats and insults in and out of their home units. They experience more of this within the Yale community outside the home unit.

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
Non-URM faculty agree most strongly that they are treated respectfully by students and trainees.

URM faculty respondents report higher frequencies of threats and insults in and out of their home units. But their experiences outside the home unit at Yale are especially disparate from non-URM faculty.

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