School of Public Health (YSPH) 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 School of Public Health were invited to take the survey; responses are shown below.
Response rate
The YSPH faculty response rate to the survey was 21% (vs. an overall Yale faculty response rate of 30%):
- 40% YSPH ladder faculty response rate (vs. 44% Yale ladder faculty overall)
- 3% YSPH instructional faculty response rate (vs. 18% Yale instructional faculty overall)
- 19% YSPH 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.
