NEW YORK
Columbia University this week announced the dedication of $15 million to jump start a new recruitment campaign and to accelerate other ongoing efforts to diversify its faculty. The university trustees, at their June meeting, unanimously approved the new funding commitment.
The university seeks to add between 15 and 20 outstanding women and minority scholars to the Faculty of Arts and Sciences over the next three to five years. It also will enhance efforts underway to change the process and culture surrounding faculty searches, recruitment, hiring, retention and promotion.
