PA-8: Gender Parity

8.1. Percentage of students with marginalized gender identities

An institution earns 1 point when 45 percent or more of students identify as women or other marginalized gender identities. 

Measurement

Report the most recent data available from within the previous three years. This may be a representative snapshot (e.g., at the beginning of an academic term) or the average of a one to three year period. An institution may report on its entire student body or limit its analysis to the predominant student body. 

An institution that tracks gender identity (or sex) in a binary way should report on individuals who are identified as women (or else not identified as men) in the institution’s student data systems.

8.2 Percentage of employees with marginalized gender identities

An institution earns 1 point when 45 percent or more of A) regular/permanent academic staff, B) regular/permanent non-academic staff, and C) executive staff identify as women or other marginalized gender identities. Partial points are available and earned as outlined in the Technical Manual.

Measurement

Report the most recent data available from within the previous three years. This may be a representative snapshot (e.g., at the beginning or end of a term) or the average of a one to three year period. 
An institution that tracks gender identity (or sex) in a binary way should report on individuals who are identified as women (or else not identified as men) in the institution’s human resources system.
Report on all regular/permanent employees. Individual executive staff members may be classified as academic staff, non-academic staff, or neither and may therefore also be included in the academic and non-academic staff figures. There is no need to avoid double-counting in this regard.

Applicable to all institutions.
