Office of Faculty Development & Diversity Releases 2009 Annual Report

We are pleased to share with you the Office of Faculty Development and Diversity Annual Report 2009.

The Office of Faculty Development and Diversity (FD&D), created in September 2005, serves as Harvard University’s central faculty affairs office. Working closely with colleagues across the University, it oversees and guides institutional policies and practices in all areas of faculty affairs, providing intellectual leadership and coordination across the Schools with the twin goals of increasing accountability and fostering measurable progress in important domains. In all its activities, the FD&D office places a special emphasis on junior faculty and on women and minorities at all academic ranks.

Since its inception, FD&D has been publishing the demographic composition of Harvard's faculty to provide a public record for the University. This year's Annual Report provides detailed data highlighting the gender and racial/ethnic composition of Harvard's Ladder Faculty on a School by School basis. In addition to highlighting important data findings, the report outlines major accomplishments in the areas of faculty mentoring, work/life programs, faculty enrichment opportunities, and a variety of pipeline programs—for undergraduates, graduate students, and postdoctoral fellows.

In an effort to produce a user-friendly and environmentally sensitive report, we have reduced the number of printed pages. Additional information complementing the 2009 Annual Report is available for download on the FD&D website (www.faculty.harvard.edu), including peer demographic comparisons for Ladder Faculty, statistics regarding FD&D programmatic initiatives, and reports highlighting advancements in faculty development and diversity at the School level.
