Abstract

This paper documents diversity trends among faculty in STEM and non-STEM fields at selective public universities in the U.S. from 2016 to 2023. The authors find that recent diversity trends are narrowing the gender gap but widening racial-ethnic gaps, particularly among Black faculty. These trends, driven largely by changes in assistant professor composition, are analyzed in the context of university investments in diversity initiatives following 2015-2016 racial protests.
