Abstract
Research summary
Through a document analysis, this paper describes the problematic of faculty diversity at Harvard, Stanford, Princeton, McGill, UBC, and the University of Toronto. Existing studies suggest that these institutions have not succeeded to proportionately increase the representation of VMA. The ratio between VMA and racialized student population is still low. Whereas white academics continue to be over-represented in tenure positions. Ipso facto, the present paper suggests that these universities need to identify and address structural barriers against faculty diversity.
