The UC Faculty Family Friendly Edge Projects:
Turning a problem into UC's competitive advantage
The UC Faculty Family Friendly Edge is a series of initiatives designed to develop and implement a comprehensive package of innovative work-family policies and programs for ladder-rank faculty in the UC system, as well as to examine the role of institutions of higher education and federal granting agencies in leaks from the academic pipeline at all stages. The first Faculty Family Friendly Edge project worked to promote the recruitment and retention of the best and the brightest, help all members of the university community achieve their fullest potential as scholars and teachers, and greatly contribute to the continued excellence of the University of California.
The principal investigators for the original UC Faculty Family Friendly Edge project were UC Berkeley's Mary Ann Mason, Co-Director of the Berkeley Center on Health, Economic, and Family Security (CHEFS), and Angelica Stacy, Associate Vice Provost for Faculty Equity. Marc Goulden and Karie Frasch, UC Berkeley Academic Researchers, co-managed the project.
The principal investigator for the Sloan Award for Faculty Career Flexibility was Angelica Stacy. Marc Goulden was co-investigator, and Karie Frasch managed the project.
The principal investigator for the Federal Grants and the Academic Pipeline project is Mary Ann Mason. Marc Goulden is co-investigator, and Karie Frasch manages the project.
Nicholas Wolfinger, Associate Professor of Family and Consumer Studies at the University of Utah has also been active on the UC Faculty Family Friendly Edge projects and has been a co-author on a number of project publications.
