About our Circle

  • Meets once a month
  • Looking for members

At assistant professor and associate professor levels, female faculty outnumber male faculty at NIU. But at the full professor level, females are extremely under-represented. Among all faculty, male full professors represent 18.3% of the faculty but women are only 8.9%. In CLAS, there are 124 associate professors (45.97% female) and 125 full professors (30.4% female).
