Documenting Employment Conditions of Faculty: Parenting, COVID-19, and Gender Equity at the University of Hawaiʻi
Presenters: Noreen Kohl, Marina Karides, and Nathalie Rita
The Building Relationships to Increase Diversity and Gender Equity (BRIDGE) project, an NSF funded ADVANCE program to support diversity in STEM, will present findings on employment conditions among parents at two-year and four-year institutions within the University of Hawai’i system. Findings are based on surveys administered during the 2020-2021 academic year and in-depth interviews conducted between 2018-2021. Our analyses of the data suggest that faculty at the UHCCs, UH Hilo, and UH West Oahu would benefit from better intervention on the part of administrators to address workplace concerns. In particular, our data demonstrates that women faculty could better advance in their careers by UH adopting policies that support parents.

The Evolving Role of Advocates in the Title IX World: Post Pandemic Trends and Considerations
Panelists:
Jennifer Rose, Director of the Office of Institutional Equity (OIE)
Leslie Cabingabang, Confidential Advocate with OIE
Moderator:
Sarah Moriarty, Investigator and Compliance Officer with the Compliance, EEO, & Title IX for the Community Colleges System Office
For decades, confidential advocates have existed as a result of the critical needs of survivors for support and safety in the context of sexual and domestic violence victimization. However, the presence of such advocates on college campuses is a more recent phenomenon, as uplifted by the Violence Against Women’s Act, and as necessitated by the evolving framework of Title IX’s focus on sexual violence. This session will explore that evolving role, with particular attention to the sophisticated work of campus advocates during the COVID-19 pandemic; issues of confidentiality, supportive measures, non-identifying trends in cases as well as the coordination and collaboration with Title IX-related personnel and community stakeholders will be some of the topics covered.
