Data Dashboard

This University of Maryland, Baltimore (UMB) Equity, Diversity, and Inclusion (EDI) Data Dashboard maps and tracks the current state and progress of EDI at UMB related to areas such as presence, recruitment, retention, promotion, and access.

This accessible, transparent, and effective tool displays the state of EDI across all schools and administrative units at UMB. These dashboard provides deans, vice presidents, other institutional leaders, and the entire UMB community information to address EDI gaps and opportunities to develop informed and innovative change and implementation strategies.

The data provided here is already publicly available by group and semester in PDF form as Employee Reports on the Institutional Effectiveness and Strategic Planning (IESPA) website,  generated by PeopleSoft. The EDI Data Dashboard provides a transparent and accessible multiyear view on one platform for multiple users working to increase equity and diversity at UMB. It will continuously be reviewed and revised, along with data collection and dissemination practices and processes, to be more representative and inclusive.

Presence and Retention

Presence trend lines compare headcount percentages by personnel groups, race/ethnicity, and gender within a specific organization (unit, school, or Universitywide).

Hiring

Hiring dashboards provide statistics, trends, and comparative analysis for various personnel groups by organization (unit, school, or Universitywide), race/ethnicity1, and gender2. Hiring and headcount trends provide trend lines to compare hiring and headcount percentages by organizations, personnel groups, race/ethnicity, and gender.

Promotion

High five

Promotion dashboards provide statistics, trends, and comparative analysis for various personnel groups by organization (unit, school, or Universitywide), race/ethnicity1, and gender2.  

 


1. Race and ethnicity refer to different types of categorizations. "Race" refers to socially constructed divisions of humanity to create hierarchies and is inextricably linked to histories of oppression, enslavement, conquest, and genocides. "Ethnicity" refers to self-defined and shared groupings based in cultural origins and expressions, including ancestry, language, region, migration, foodways, literature, and music (Diversity Style Guide; University of Maryland, College Park Editorial Style Guidelines; California State University Diversity/Inclusivity Style Guide; Flanagin, Frey, & Christiansen, 2021).

2. UMB recognizes gender diversity beyond binary genders. Employee gender identity reported in our HR systems is derived from government-issued documentation and populated in PeopleSoft from this data; it is not self-reported. Future work will involve aligning collected and reported employee gender identities with actual gender identities.
