Most of my professors at Tufts have been white males, and I think that this has been a shared experience among many of my friends and peers. Exactly how many full time professors of color do we have, and exactly how many full time female professors are here at Tufts? According to the 2007 – 2008 Tufts fact book:
In the school of liberal arts and sciences:
– There are a total of 17 African American professors: 8 males, 9 females
– There are a total of 14 Asian American / Pacific Islander professors: 5 males, 9 females
– There are a total of 17 Hispanic professors: 9 males, 8 females
– There are a total of 237 white professors: 129 males, 108 females
– There are a total of 55 foreign professors: 28 males, 27 females
(Not sure what they mean by foreign…)
Meanwhile in the school of engineering:
– There are a total of 2 African American professors: 1 male and 1 female
– There are a total of 5 Asian American / Pacific Islander professors: all of whom are males
– There are 0 Hispanic professors
– There are a total of 52 white professors: 42 males, 10 females
– There are a total of 11 foreign professors: 9 males, 2 females
…Just statistics to know, share and contemplate…
