#Academia & Underepresented Minoritized (URM) faculty: There is a double standard in how scholarly productivity is rewarded: URM faculty are judged more harshly than non-URM faculty, especially URM women. #OpenSexism #Racism #RacismInAcademia #GenderInequity

Underrepresented minority faculty in the USA face a double standard in promotion and tenure decisions - Nature Human Behaviour

Masters-Waage et al. report that underrepresented minority (URM) faculty in the USA face barriers in the promotion and tenure process, receiving more negative votes and fewer unanimous positive decisions at the college level. This is partly due to a double standard: URM faculty are held to a higher standard than non-URM faculty in terms of scholarly productivity.

From the article:

According to court filings, the photos from August 2017 showed the tenured professor among a crowd of people at a political demonstration opposing the removal of the General Robert E. Lee statue in Charlottesville. The photos, in which Healy is surrounded by white supremacist hate groups that oppose integration and equality, quickly gained traction on the internet.

The university later place Healy on paid suspension.

According to a lawsuit, Healy was notified in June 2023 the university intended to terminate his employment.
