ADVANCE BU - A&A

The Advocates and Allies initiative aims to raise awareness of both systemic and interpersonal forms of discrimination, and build intervention and advocacy skills among faculty men. First developed by North Dakota State University, it has been implemented in more than 30 colleges and universities across the nation. It has also resulted in significant improvements in gender equity, including increased retention and promotion of women faculty; an overall increase in the number of women faculty in STEM; increased numbers of women full professors and deans; and the creation of “diversity-positive” campus cultures.
