Objective:
The objective of this report is to identify and characterize the relative likelihood of women and racially minoritized pharmacy faculty being promoted, advancing within leadership roles, and earning comparable salaries.
Methods:
Data from the 2010-2021 American Association of Colleges of Pharmacy Profile of Pharmacy Faculty surveys were analyzed to compare odds ratios for promotion, leadership roles, and salary gaps of pharmacy faculty according to race and gender. Changes in the odds ratios over time were characterized by linear regression and predictions about when and if equality would be achieved according to current trends were calculated.
Results:
Compared to White male counterparts, faculty identifying as women, Black, Hispanic, or Asian had a significantly lower odds ratio of promotion to associate or full professor. Women and Asian faculty also had a lower likelihood of promotion from assistant to associate or Chief Executive Officer (CEO) dean. No demographics studied were more likely than White men to advance in rank or attain associate or CEO dean leadership positions. Furthermore, negative salary gaps for women emerge after promotion from assistant professor, becoming significant and continuing to widen at the associate (-$20,419) and CEO dean (-$37,495) level.
Conclusion:
Despite attention to matters of diversity, equity, and inclusion, female and racially minoritized faculty continue to experience lower rates of promotion, leadership advancement, and wages compared to White male colleagues. These results have negative consequences for recruiting and retaining talented faculty and students, and compromise the benefits that a diverse faculty is known to provide on student learning outcomes.
