MSU has a lower percentage of tenured minority faculty members than Michigan’s two other major research universities, despite efforts to attract more minorities to teach on campus. MSU has 306 minority tenured faculty members, or 15.5 percent of its 1,977 tenured faculty members, according to a report released this week by the Office of Affirmative Action, Compliance and Monitoring. The University of Michigan employs 486 minority tenured faculty members, or 17.9 percent of its tenured faculty, and Wayne State University had 149 tenured minority faculty members in 2000, or 23 percent of its tenured faculty. Wayne State has not yet compiled numbers of tenured faculty members for this year. Tenure is offered to faculty members when they reach full professor status, giving them protection from dismissal except for serious misconduct. Despite trailing U-M and Wayne State, MSU officials said attracting more minority faculty to the university - which has seen an increase from 14.6 percent to 15.5 percent since 2000 - is a priority. “In looking at those data, we have been able to make some modest progress in the context of decline in the number of tenured faculty,” MSU Provost Lou Anna Simon said.
