PAE-9: Support Programs for Future Faculty

Two CU programs, the chancellor's fellowship and special opportunity hiring, help departments in hiring women and new faculty members of color, where the university competes with other leading national universities. Almost 50% of recent faculty hires have been women, with 20-30% faculty of color.

The Program encourages shifts in faculty members’ thinking about undergraduate deep learning and constructing understanding as opposed to conveying knowledge. See FTEP, http://www.colorado.edu/ftep/
