AIP Reports on Underrepresented Minority Students & Faculty

This item is published on behalf of the American Institute of Physics (AIP) Statistical Research Center (SRC):

AIP's Statistical Research Center has published two new reports on underrepresented minorities in physics, astronomy, and related fields. Both are available as PDFs:

• Hispanic Participation Among Bachelors in Physical Sciences and Engineering: While Hispanics are still underrepresented among degree recipients, there has been an increased attainment of bachelor's degrees in the physical sciences and engineering that is encouraging.
• African Americans & Hispanics Among Physics & Astronomy Faculty: Our 2012 survey shows slower growth rates than in 2008 and continued underrepresentation of African Americans, Hispanics, and women of color among physics and astronomy faculty members.
