Faculty Development and Diversity
Mission
The Office of the Senior Vice Provost for Faculty Development and Diversity (FD&D) works closely with colleagues in the Provost’s Office, Deans, faculty and staff leaders across all Schools to aid in the recruitment, hiring, development, promotion and retention of excellent faculty in all departments. Specifically, the Office seeks to:
- Improve Harvard’s performance in developing scholars at all stages of the academic career ladder: building a diverse pipeline; recruiting the very best scholars; providing appropriate career tracks and promoting equitably; and retaining outstanding faculty
- Establish an institutional culture that will sustain this improved performance – a culture that will encourage a more diverse set of talented students to choose academic careers, make Harvard more attractive to this diverse pipeline, and allow all faculty at Harvard to flourish in their careers
- Engage across Harvard and nationally with leading scholars in stimulating dialogues, sharing the best practices, innovations, and future frontiers of faculty development, diversity, and related issues
