University of Virginia Library

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	% Black
Architecture	21	11	6
Arts and Sciences	20	4	2
Commerce	6	5	2
Graduate Business	6	5	2
Education	26	11	8
Engineering	1	5	1
Law	9	6	4
Medicine	10	7	4
Nursing	97	8	6

• 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.
