There were a total of 8 faculty focus groups,
12 staff focus groups, and 14 student focus groups, as well as individual interviews
for every population. Faculty focus groups included faculty from every rank, tenured
as well as non-tenure-track. Staff focus groups included support staff, service staff,
administrative department heads, supervisors, and independent contributors. Student
focus groups included students from every class year as well as Ada Comstock Scholars,
with groups offered for students of color, international students, intercollegiate
athletes, and students with disabilities. In addition to the focus groups, discussion
groups included members of the Rainbow list of faculty and staff of color and of
the queer administrators group, academic chairs and directors, and groups for the
Unity organizations and the queer student organizations.
The table below describes the demographic information
provided by those who participated in an interview, focus group, discussion group,
or e-mail group. The data are compared to the demographic data provided by the Smith
College Institutional Research Office for all faculty, staff, and students. The representativeness
among those who participated as compared to the college population suggests that
the qualitative and quantitative findings are particularly reflective of the larger
Smith community.
