College Crew: Anyone notice this about faculty at your college.

[DVK916]

Probably around 40-70% of the faculty in the various sciences(math, physical, biologogical), and engineering departments are foreigners. But only around 10-30% of the faculty here in the social sciences, humanities, and arts majors are foreigners.

Anyone else notice this at their college.

Hey, just as long as they aren't "Christian", right?

 

[SuperNaruto]

most of the receptionst we hired are psychology, liberal arts, etc major...

I dont think most people want to travel from another country to make 30k a year

You ever noticed in NBA basketball, probably around 40-70% of the players are black. But in baseball only 10-30% of the players are black.

I haven't had many humanities or arts. I have had World History, Economics, and Ice Skating. All three teachers appeared to be, and sounded like, they were born and raised here.

Math and engineering - One Italian, one Indian, one Chinese.

Not quite a majority, but definitely more than in other disciplines. I do see other math, sciences, and engineering professors though, who are definitely not originally from the US.


The only issue I have with that - strong accents make it difficult to understand them. Calculus for example, I went from someone with a strong Italian accent to a strong Chinese accent. A good portion of the first week is just learning to understand what the professor is saying.

I see you've changed your opinion on that.

I have decided to become a little more accepting, since then.

Less than 0.5% of the NBA player population is Chinese (only little Yao!), what's the dealio? Racism I tell you!

It depends on the area too. In Toronto we're super-multicultural - I would say the balance is 30/30/40 asian/indian/white in engineering.

It is very similar here too.

But what about for social sciences, like history and such.

 

[fierydemise]

Thats because we don't teach math and science here in the good old US of A

Undergraduate degrees perhaps, sure; but faculty in colleges are nearly always doctors, meaning they'll all be earning about the same salaries.

most asians are short

 

[Shawn]

Yep. Most of the grad students in the math department are Asian and most in the biology department are Indian or Asian.
