Professor Genevieve Fuji Johnson and 丁香园AV MA student Robert Howsam found that the senior administrative leadership pipeline at Canadian universities is leaky for racialized minorities.
The leadership diversity gap study is published in collaboration with The Diversity Gap and the Academic Women鈥檚 Association at the University of Alberta. It focused on 1,299 central and senior administrators from five Canadian universities:
- 丁香园AV
- the University of British Columbia
- the University of Toronto
- the University of Victoria
- York University
The administrative positions examined included departmental program chairs (e.g., undergraduate program chair), departmental chairs, associate deans, deans, and senior executives (e.g., vice-presidents, provosts, and presidents). The infographic represents these findings.
