BYU intends to nourish a community of believing scholars, where students and teachers, guided by the gospel, freely join together to seek truth in charity and virtue.” It would seem that publicly available policy statements, presumably approved by the Board of Trustees, are at least partly in agreement with JImbob, that “they [don’t] care so much about … academic reputation outside the membership of the Church.” And I would expect any efforts to diversify the faculty to take a backseat to the goals of the leaders of the founding and funding Church. © All Rights Reserved. Thanks for the post – a challenge for BYU, indeed. The total number of married students is 4,890, comprising 26.2 percent of the total campus student population.
(And I say this as the white father of white daughters: students of color at BYU have exponentially fewer role models who look like them and have similar experiences. It gets discussed in the daylight how the award-winning Daniel Fairbanks was removed as Dean and ultimately left the university over his medical inability to shave (wouldn’t grant exceptions for the public-facing position of Dean. I still maintain that LDS parents send their kids to BYU with the expectation that they’ll graduate with the same conservative ideology that they entered with…and certainly that as young adults they will cling to the Church as closely as they did as kids growing up. And that will probably require that it change some of its hiring policies. But we shouldn’t pretend there are no downsides to deliberately not picking the most qualified candidate. This puts BYU - H's level of geographic diversity well above the national average and gives it a national geographic diversity ranking of #64. IPEDS uses the Classification of Instructional Programs (CIP) standard, so the categories may not match the exact concentrations offered by Brigham Young University-Provo. Again, your current strategies fall short because you are not taking on the administration, even though you know they are being unjust and are hurting the university’s long term interests. ), And here’s the caveat: I based my evaluation of race primarily on the faculty member’s appearance. At Brigham Young University - Provo, the disparity between men and women on campus is far lower than the national average. Does whatever reason the church subsidises US young people apply to my grandchildren, and more so third world members? This university is ranked at #1,781 in male to female diversity nationwide. I personally would rather my children (all sons) not attend BYU because I want them to see a diverse faculty, particularly women faculty, in places of influence.
They don’t want a bunch of BLM and gay rights noise makers infecting the environment. Enrollment in BYU-Idaho's online courses also continues to grow rapidly. By contrast, in the broader US population, only about 60% of us are white non-Hispanic. Brigham Young University (BYU, sometimes referred to colloquially as The Y) is a private research university owned by The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints (LDS Church) and located in Provo, Utah. In addition, the pipeline of candidates is getting better in terms of POC, but that will take additional time to develop–the absolute dearth of academic jobs overall has depressed graduate school applications overall. I doubt it would dramatically affect Sam’s estimates, but my suspicion is that Mormonism’s strong Latin American ties, combined with its anglophone and US-dominated leadership culture, might meaningfully increase the rate at which Mormons who personally identify as Latinx are misperceived as white by the casual (and white) observer. The most common jobs for people who hold a degree in one of the 5 most specialized majors at Brigham Young University-Provo are Physicians (394,803 people), Elementary & middle school teachers (208,033 people), Postsecondary teachers (181,985 people), Other managers (142,444 people), and Other Physical Scientists (85,675 people). The typical student is between the ages of 18-21. Similarly, what’s it like to be a person of color and an accountant? Looking to attend a school where you can meet students from all over the United States and the world? I think as long as you’re willing to acknowledge that trade-off it’s just a preference bias whichever way you choose. This is another angle on why national professional networks don’t necessarily trust BYU faculty to speak truthfully. Likewise, even if BYU were to open up its hiring, there’s not a chance that the majority of faculty would suddenly stop being Mormon. And that’s completely ignored in this “analysis” you offer. Another challenge with hiring more black professors, in particular, is that most black members of the Church don’t live in the US. Frankly, I think his nonmember status was critical for being trusted by external colleagues to assess me accurately and according to field-wide professional standards, and for that reason alone, he was able (barely) to build a bridge for me. If available, the chart below will include the male to female percentage among BYU - H's undergraduate students. She informed me for all of these reasons she has decided against applying to BYU, and also fears the degree would serve more as a liability to her long term academic and professional goals than an advantage. Solving BYU’s diversity problem by hiring nonmember faculty makes the overall U.S. higher education landscape less diverse (in types of institutions represented), and that would be an unfortunate loss. Compared with the full-time retention rate at similar Doctoral Universities (83%), Brigham Young University-Provo had a retention rate higher than its peers. Toward the end of that statement, they said: We likewise call on government, business, and educational leaders at every level to review processes, laws, and organizational attitudes regarding racism and root them out once and for all.

Some students prefer a campus filled with others who are a similar age to them, while some prefer a wide age range of students. If you would like to stop being criticized for lack of diversity and/or concerns about academic quality, you must undertake some efforts that target the administration, not just the elusive potential hires. Ah. BYU really needs to reexamine its hiring policies. And if we increase the faculty’s diversity, they’ll still have plenty of opportunity to take classes from men. All rights reserved.
