A team at Southern Illinois University Edwardsville has been gathering data about the climate and environment for tenured and tenure-track faculty, particularly women and underrepresented minority women in social, behavioral, and natural sciences as well as engineering and mathematics.  Results from surveys, interviews, and institutional data sources suggest that, while there are similarities, there may be significant differences between this regional comprehensive public master's institution and other types of institutions that have done similar studies.  Funded by a National Science Foundation grant through the ADVANCE IT-Catalyst program, the findings raise interesting questions about ways to support female faculty.
