Minority Faculty Decisions: From Teaching to Administration to Moving Outside of Academia

Due to a variety of reasons, the number of women and underserved minorities obtaining Ph.D.s has increased over the past 20 years. There has been a concomitant, although not as substantial, increase in the numbers that enter the academy as faculty and pursue careers in research and/or teaching. At many institutions, the tendency is to identify faculty who exhibit excellence in both leadership and research and/or teaching and groom them to enter positions in academic administration. What could be the long‐term impact of this policy on the numbers of minority scientists pursuing academic careers? Can this policy affect the numbers who persist through the tenure and promotion processes? Is movement from the classroom and laboratory to an office good for the professional career of the faculty member? This presentation will touch on these issues in the context of one woman's path from academic teaching and research to university administration and beyond.
