The Event

"An accomplished disciple owes his accomplishment to his great teacher.” In November 2015, Yale announced a substantial initiative to support faculty diversity, which was followed by similar announcements from University of Pennsylvania, Columbia University, and other major schools. What is the significance of composing the faculty of a university? How do American research universities hire and retain outstanding talented faculty members? This lecture will explore these questions and the structural difficulties in the faculty development “pipeline”, as well as the importance of engagement by the faculty in order to achieve institutional goals.

LANGUAGE

The language of the event will be English.
