The speakers at the May 26 meeting of the Faculty Senate were C. Matthew Snipp, director of the Faculty Development Initiative; Karen Cook, vice provost for faculty development and diversity; and Margot Gerritsen, chair of the Task Force on Women in Leadership.
To make more progress in diversifying the faculty, Stanford must continue its concerted efforts to hire more female and minority faculty members, C. Matthew Snipp, senior associate vice provost for faculty development and diversity at Stanford, told the Faculty Senate on Thursday.
Speaking at the May 26 meeting, Snipp said two Stanford programs – the Faculty Development Initiative and the Faculty Incentive Fund – have significantly contributed to the growth of female and minority faculty at Stanford over the last decade.
