FAS faculty participation in the 2023 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.
Response rate
The FAS faculty response rate was 30.4% (compared to Yale’s overall response rate of 34.3%), with the following breakdown by category:
- 44.3% FAS ladder faculty (vs. 48.5% overall ladder faculty response rate)
- 19.7% FAS instructional faculty (vs. 20.6% overall instructional faculty response rate)
- 9.0% FAS research faculty (vs. 18% overall research faculty response rate)
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 responses do not represent the opinions of faculty who did not complete the survey.
