UW-Madison education Professor Jerlando Jackson’s study of data from the National Study of Postsecondary Education corroborates what others have reported: Whites continue to hold the largest portion of computer science faculty positions. However, the participation of people of color is steadily increasing. While Asian/Pacific Islanders appear to be doing the best overall, African Americans/Blacks appear to do better at finding employment at liberal arts institutions. Males hold the largest portion of computer science faculty positions, yet female participation is steadily increasing due to high growth patterns in hiring. There is a gap of approximately $10,000 between average salaries for males and females in computer science faculty positions, and there is a significant gap between males and females on two key merit-based performance indicators: career patents and career publications.</p> <p> </td> <td></td> </tr> <tr> <td height="4" colspan="5" valign="top"><img src="../../../images/gridBkrnd.gif" width="1" height="1"></td> <td></td> </tr> <tr > <td id="footerarea" height="49" colspan="5" class="footer"> <center><table><tr> <td valign=top><a href="http://www.wisc.edu"><img border=0 hspace="8" src="../../../images/uwlogo.gif" alt="UW Logo"></a> </td> <td valign=top><center> <a href="../../../index.php">HOME</a><img src="../../../images/bullet.gif" width="10" height="5"><a href="../../../publications/index.php">PUBLICATIONS</a><img src="../../../images/bullet.gif" width="10" height="5"><a href="../../../people/index.php">PEOPLE</a><img src="../../../images/bullet.gif" width="10" height="5"><a href="../../../contact/index.php">CONTACT</a><br>WCER is housed within the<a href="http://www.education.wisc.edu/" target="_blank"> School of Education</a> at the <a href="http://www.wisc.edu" target="_blank">University of Wisconsin-Madison</a><br> Copyright ©2007 The Board of Regents of the University of Wisconsin System<br> </center> </td> </tr></table></center> </td> <td></td> </tr> </table> </div></td> </tr> </table> </body> </html> </p>
