"Don't Ask, Don't Tell": The Academic Climate for Lesbian, Gay, Bisexual, and Transgender Faculty in Science and Engineering
Abstract
In the present study, fourteen science and engineering faculty members who identified as lesbian or gay at two research universities described the workplace climate for lesbian, gay, bisexual, and transgender (LGBT) faculty, the role pressures and choices they face, and the effects of the climate on their work performance and careers. While some faculty describe overt hostility toward them, invisibility, interpersonal discomfort, and pressure to "cover" their sexuality are much more pervasive, as is a felt obligation to be supportive to LGBT students and junior colleagues. Based on our analyses of the interview data, we propose a model of the career consequences of the academic work environment for sexual minority faculty in science and engineering. We conclude by recommending specific future research and suggesting institutional actions that can be taken to make campus climates more affirming for LGBT faculty in science and engineering, and other disciplines.

About these checks
Registry, retraction, Cites and statistics results are computed, not judged, with one exception: a printed reference that no index lists is read once by a model before it counts as a citation error. Claims are extracted by a model and kept only when their quote appears verbatim in the text; each cited source is then checked, with a model’s help, for whether it says what the claim relies on. Those verdicts can be wrong — read the claim’s quote and the cited source before relying on one.
Statistics and arithmetic are recomputed, not judged.
Confidence bands are shown only for fields calibrated on our annotated test set. None is calibrated yet, so no band is shown.
