Overall

Summary of responses
YSM faculty respondents report feeling a greater sense of belonging within their own department/section than in the broader Yale community.

By faculty track

Summary of responses
YSM ladder faculty respondents report the strongest sense of belonging both within their department/section and across Yale, while YSM research faculty respondents report the least.

By gender

Summary of responses
Non-binary/transgender/rather not say/self-identified YSM faculty respondents report significantly lesser experiences of belonging, both at Yale and within their department/section.

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 underrepresented minority (URM) status

Summary of responses
URM YSM faculty respondents report lesser experiences of belonging at Yale than non-URM faculty, but similar levels within their department/section. The responses are more polarized for URM than non-URM faculty, with higher levels of non-belonging and less neutrality.

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