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


0007

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  % Black 
Architecture  21  11 
Arts and Sciences  20 
Commerce 
Graduate Business 
Education  26  11 
Engineering 
Law 
Medicine  10 
Nursing  97 

  • The following sources were utilized in developing the above availability percentages:
  • (a) Professional Women and Minorities (last updated July, 1977); a manpower data resource service of the Scientific Manpower Commission, American Association for the Advancement of Science.

  • 0008

  • (b) Preliminary report on total masters and doctors degrees awarded in appropriate disciplines, for years 1975-76 obtained from HEW, Office of Civil Rights, March, 1978.
  • (c) American Association of Medical Colleges, Washington, D. C.

2. Non-instructional employees.

The University of Virginia is by far the largest employer in the Charlottesville-Albemarle and surrounding county area. The following information concerning the labor force composition appears in Manpower Information for Affirmative Action Programs, State of Virginia, 1976:

   
Labor Force  Total  % Female  % Minority  % Black 
State of Virginia  2,306,000  39.9  18.9  17.6 
Charlottesville-Albemarle  64,430  39.3  19.2  18.5 

Except for the two EEO categories, Executive/Administrative/Managers and Professional, non-instructional employees are hired predominately from the Charlottesville-Albemarle and surrounding county area. Executive/Administrative/Managers 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 percentages for non-instructional employees by EEO category for females, minorities and blacks are tabulated as follows:
