Hiring Diverse Faculty: Promising PracticesJulia Michaels
University leaders know that a diverse faculty body is essential to excellence in research, teaching, service, and patient care. A diverse faculty contributes to a climate of inclusion on campus and promotes research on a wide variety of topics applicable to individuals from all backgrounds. Having a diverse faculty also encourages the ascension of diverse leaders to senior administrative positions. Although universities have a vested interest in diversifying their faculty, many universities struggle to achieve diversity goals – despite their best efforts. This webinar will explore evidence-based practices for faculty hiring as well as promising practices that could benefit from further testing. The webinar hosts will also share information about an upcoming project to pilot these promising practices, with the goal of improving evidence for strategies that work.

LAND USE LAND COVER AND NDVI OF MIRZAPUR DISTRICT, UPRAHUL
This Dissertation explores the particular circumstances of Mirzapur, a region located in the
core of India. Mirzapur, with its varied terrains and abundant biodiversity, offers an optimal
environment for investigating the changes in vegetation cover dynamics. Our study utilizes
advanced technologies such as GIS (Geographic Information Systems) and Remote sensing to
analyze the transformations that have taken place over the course of a decade.
The complex relationship between human activities and the environment has been the focus
of extensive research and worry. As the global community grapples with swift urbanization,
population expansion, and economic progress, the effects on natural ecosystems are becoming
more evident. A crucial element of this impact is the alteration of vegetation cover, which plays a
significant role in maintaining the ecological equilibrium of our planet.Land serves as the foundation for all human activities and provides the necessary materials for
these activities. As the most crucial natural resource, its utilization by humans results in different
'Land uses,' which are determined by both human activities and the physical characteristics of the
land.
The utilization of land is impacted by human needs and environmental factors. In countries
like India, rapid population growth and the emphasis on extensive resource exploitation can lead
to significant land degradation, adversely affecting the region's land cover.
Therefore, human intervention has significantly influenced land use patterns over many
centuries, evolving its structure over time and space. In the present era, these changes have
accelerated due to factors such as agriculture and urbanization. Information regarding land use and
cover is essential for various planning and management tasks related to the Earth's surface,
providing crucial environmental data for scientific, resource management, policy purposes, and
diverse human activities.
Accurate understanding of land use and cover is imperative for the development planning
of any area. Consequently, a wide range of professionals, including earth system scientists, land
and water managers, and urban planners, are interested in obtaining data on land use and cover
changes, conversion trends, and other related patterns. The spatial dimensions of land use and
cover support policymakers and scientists in making well-informed decisions, as alterations in
these patterns indicate shifts in economic and social conditions. Monitoring such changes with the
help of Advanced technologies like Remote Sensing and Geographic Information Systems is
crucial for coordinated efforts across different administrative levels. Advanced technologies like
Remote Sensing and Geographic Information Systems

Changes in vegetation cover refer to variations in the distribution, composition, and overall
structure of plant communities across different temporal and spatial scales. These changes can
occur natural.

10. Motivations for Adopting Holistic Review
Institute of Medicine (IOM), 2002
Warned of “unequal treatment” minorities face when
encountering the health care system.
Showed through Health Services research, that minority health
professionals are more likely to serve minority and medically
underserved populations.
Recommended increasing the number of minority health
professionals as a key strategy to help eliminate health
disparities.
11. Motivations for Adopting Holistic Review
Themes from Research
Individuals educated in diverse settings are far more likely to
work and live in racially and ethnically diverse environments
after graduation.
Individuals who study and discuss issues related to race and
ethnicity in academic courses and interact with a diverse set of
peers are better prepared for life in an increasing complex and
diverse society.
Increasing the compositional diversity of the student body is
essential to create an optimal learning environment.

12. Implementation
Summary -- Steps
• Evaluated data, our metric based rubric, & applicant pool.
• Reviewed the literature, IOM report, AACN data, National
Data for Registered Nurses, and Strategic Plan.
• Met with Legal Affairs, Office of Diversity Affairs, Medical
College, and College of Nursing Dean.
• Defined diversity, minority and under-represented,
holistic admission, and holistic review.
• Changed the admission application.
13. Application Changes
Essay
1) Share life experiences which have influenced your interest
in nursing.
2) Describe how your personal strengths, experiences, &
aptitude will contribute to your success in nursing school
and career in nursing (community service, leadership
experience, healthcare experience).
3) Explain the academic challenges, success, or obstacles in
your life that impacted your ability to achieve your goals.
Questions
1) Are you the first generation of your family to enroll in
an institution of higher education?
2) Are you a first generation college student in your family?
14. Implementation
Vision
AU vision for diversity is predicated on the beliefs that:
• industry, intelligence, talent, and skill are not limited by race,
gender, sexual orientation, ethnic origin, or culture;
• opportunity for study should be based on factors including a
willingness to practice in underserved areas as well as
demonstrated academic success;
• motivation, persistence, desire, enthusiasm, and compassion are
keys to success.
15. Implementation
Definitions
• “Diversity” is broadly defined. Includes differences related not
only to race and ethnicity but also to age, disability, gender,
national origin, religion, and sexual orientation. Variation of social,
biological, & cultural identities, or the sum total of experiences.
• “Minority" defined as a group that differs from the majority of
the population, particularly in terms of religion, culture, ethnic
background, race, sexual orientation or physical ability.
• “Underrepresented minority" refers to groups whose presence
in different areas is disproportionate when compared to overall
population figures—a minority may represent 3 percent of
American citizens, but only 0.7 percent of nursing students.
16. Implementation
Definition -- Holistic Admission
Flexible, highly
individualized process
Evaluation
• Balanced consideration
is given to the multiple
ways in which applicants
may prepare for and
demonstrate suitability
consideration as
students and futures
nurses.
• Institution-specific,
broad-based, mission
driven.
• Applied equitably across
the entire candidate
pool.

19. Mission-Based Criteria
• Academic ability, GPA, TEAS, types of courses, University, course
load, overcame challenges, ‘B’ / ‘C’ grades while working full time
or caring for family, references, ability to write, follow instructions,
extracurricular activities, and leadership.
Academically

go to college, culture, background, life experiences, perspectives,
exposure to field, passion / commitment to people, goals, history of
serving others, ability to work with others and teams, multi-lingual.
Diversity
• From disadvantaged or under-represented county, medically
underserved, health professional shortage area, rural county,
commitment to practice in one of these areas, history / experience
with disadvantaged populations.
Under-
represented
• Out of StateInstitution
Specific
20. Faculty Challenges Encountered
• Not using a metric driven process
• Seeing value
• Fear of increasing ‘at risk’ students
• Biases and stereotypes / negative comments
• Chair remaining neutral / non-defensive
• Committee full commitment
• Viewing diversity not as an end goal, but a means to
achieving core educational goals
• Applicant / Parent Calls as to why they were not
admitted when they had a high GPA
21. Lessons Learned
• Buy-in with African American faculty committee member on
front end, committee chair, and key members who had utilized
this format would have facilitated implementation
• All stakeholders at initial orientation meeting (i.e. Dean, Chief
Diversity Officer, etc.)
• Committee work-effort increased with reviews
• Concurrently or before:
• Develop pipeline programs to increase diverse applicant
pool
• Aggressive recruitment
• Obtain multi-cultural scholarships
• Develop support systems
• Develop mechanism to capture all data on the diversity and not
just race, gender, and age.
