FAS faculty participation in the 2021 Faculty Climate Survey contributes to the Belonging at Yale initiative, a comprehensive effort launched by President Peter Salovey in 2020 to enhance diversity, support equity, and promote an environment of inclusion and respect at the university. All faculty with primary and fully-joint appointments in a department in the Faculty of Arts and Sciences were invited to take the survey; responses are shown below.
Response rate
The FAS faculty response rate to the survey was 32% (vs. an overall Yale faculty response rate of 30%):
- 47% FAS ladder faculty response rate (vs. 44% Yale ladder faculty overall)
- 21% FAS instructional faculty response rate (vs. 18% Yale instructional faculty overall)
- 12% FAS research faculty response rate (vs. 13% Yale research faculty overall)
Please note: where response rates are low, caution should be taken regarding conclusions that are broadly representative of the overall faculty or a particular subset of faculty. In the bar charts below, the text boxes provide a summary of responses but do not represent the opinions of faculty who did not complete the survey.
