During his 11-year term, outgoing Dean of the Faculty of Arts and Sciences (FAS) Jeremy R. Knowles has created several administrative bodies to facilitate the recruitment and retention of female and minority professors.
Also, following the release of MIT’s data, Knowles requested an assessment of whether there were similar inequities in the distribution of internal awards, committee assignments, office and lab space or endowed chairs—but no major discrepencies were found. This data was also never made public...
Affiliation with the Institute, Knowles wrote, is an incentive that will aid in recruiting professors—both male and female—by “enriching the intellectual environment in Cambridge.”
And Geisinger Professor of History William C. Kirby, who will take over from Knowles as FAS dean at the end of June, says increasing the frequency of internal promotions is also on his map.
In his annual letter to the Faculty this year, Dean of the Faculty Knowles recognized the role that Radcliffe can play in making Harvard a more attractive place for women to work.
