Report Faults Ivy League Colleges for Low Level of Racial and Gender Diversity on Their Faculties

Ivy League colleges have made few strides in hiring women and members of minority groups, according to a report released this week by a group of Yale University graduate students who are seeking to form a union. Data in the report, compiled from existing statistics at the U.S. Department of Education, show that of 433 new professors hired into tenure-track positions at Ivy League institutions in 2003, only 150 were women, 14 were black, and 8 were Hispanic.
