The Office of Faculty Development and Equity is committed to creating a supportive and diverse environment for over 1,000 scholars who comprise Drexel's faculty.
Drexel's programs are designed to incorporate the best practices for faculty recruitment, retention, and faculty advancement, with special attention to faculty equity and diversity. We strive to implement the recommendations of the Provost's Task Force on Faculty Diversity, which set the foundation for this initiative, and meet the goals of Drexel's 2007-2012 Strategic Plan.
The Office of Faculty Development and Equity, and the faculty that support it, play a leading role in fostering a more supportive environment for faculty, in broadening our approaches to recruiting excellent new faculty, and in revising our academic policies to provide for flexibility and equity in career development. We strive to create an academic climate that fosters excellence in teaching, research, and professional activity, and
that supports diverse faculty members at every stage of their careers.
