B. Availability Analysis
1. Instructional Faculty.
Requirements for employment
as a full-time faculty member at the
University typically include the attainment of
a doctoral degree in a particular academic area.
In the schools of Architecture, Nursing and Law,
a doctoral degree may not be required, but a
masters degree or J.D. degree is generally required.
The University of Virginia recruits faculty
from national pools. Thus the female and minority
availability pools for instructional faculty
contained in this plan are based upon recent
national degree productivity data. The availability
percentages by academic area for females,
minorities, and blacks are as follows:
| Academic Area |
% Female |
% Minority |

are recruited from national
availability pools, while Professionals are recruited
from state availability pools. Educational requirements
for these two categories generally include a bachelor's
degree and may, in addition, require graduate education
or professional certification. The availability
