Astronomy Faculty Development at Minority-Serving Institutions
Abstract
This white paper proposes to increase the number of underrepresented minority (URM) students who pursue graduate study in astronomy, by establishing a program to support and incentivize the hiring of astronomy faculty at minority-serving institutions (MSIs), where large fractions of URM science and engineering majors earn their bachelor’s degrees.
