ULV Facts: Faculty

In the fall 2006 term, the University of La Verne hired 194 full-time and 422 part-time faculty, 203 Administrative/Professional Staff, as well as 191 classified staff. Among the full-time faculty, 151 (77.8%) were Caucasian, 17 (8.8%) were Asian/Pacific Islander, 9 (4.6%) were Hispanic/Latino, and 6 (3.1%) were African American. 52.6% of the full-time faculty were male and 47.4% were female. Among all the staff members, 58.4% were Caucasian, 21.1% were Hispanic, 8.9% were Asian/Pacific Islander, 8.1% were African-American. 36.8% of the staff members were male and 63.2% were female.

During fall 2001 and fall 2006, the University dramatically increased its female presence in full-time faculty, from 67 to 92 (from 42% to 47%), and its male presence in full-time staff, from 120 to 145 (from 32% to 37%). While its faculty gender composition is not close to idea, it is considerably better than that of its peers, who had an average of 41% female presence in 2005. For some unknown reasons, the University tends to attract more female staff than its peers.

During fall 2001 and fall 2006, the University enormously increased its Asian/Pacific Islander presence and Hispanic presence in both full-time faculty and full-time staff while relative decreases were observed in its Caucasian presence in full-time faculty team from 84% to 78% and in full-time staff members from 63% to 58%. In the past 6 years, the University increased its Asian/Pacific Islander full-time faculty from 11 to 17 (from 7% to 9%) and staff from 28 to 35 (from 8% to 9%), its Hispanic full-time faculty from 7 to 9 (4% to 5%) and staff from 76 to 83 (20% to 21%).

Again, though its racial diversities in both groups still had a long way to go to reflect its student population, they were both better than those of their peers, especially in staff composition. Of example, the University has lower percentages in the highest race (Caucasian) presences than the averages of its peers in full-time faculty (78% v. 81%) and in full-time staff (58% v. 71%); its Asian/Pacific Islander full-time faculty was higher than the that of its peers (9% v. 7%); its minority full-time presences in African American (8% v. 5%), Asian/Pacific Islander (9% v. 7%), and Hispanic (21% v. 13%) are all far higher than those of its peers.
