Minority Faculty

The University of Missouri has set aside $1.6 million to increase its minority faculty. According to the story, they want to get up to 13 percent in four years.

So, how does UGA compare?

Using only full time faculty via UGA's data portal, only 5.8 percent of UGA's faculty are black. Of the colleges Social Work does the best, with 35.5 percent African American, followed by Education (11.6 percent). Who sucks? It's a tie, at 0.0 percent, between Environment & Design, Forestry & National Resources, though as you can see from the data presented below Env & Design makes up for it somewhat with four Hispanic faculty. Again, the data below are just full-time faculty, from Fall 2015. I could do a lot more, but it's hard to squeeze onto this blog.
