This session will shed light on some of the following issues: What kind of speech is and is not protected by the First Amendment? What laws and other considerations apply to speeches on campus, from students, faculty, or external people who are invited to speak or who are renting space on campus for an event? What does “free speech” mean for tenured and untenured academics at a state university? What should the Georgia Tech community know about the Open Records Act and how it applies to them?

This is a follow-up to last year’s mini-course on Georgia Tech’s “Colors of Money.” Following an update of Georgia Tech’s fiscal 2018 budget, participants will look “behind the curtain” of how funding distributions from various sources are determined. A special focus will be placed on the flexible funding in Georgia Tech’s “General Fund,” which includes revenue from state, tuition, indirect cost recoveries, and various student and other fee sources. During this presentation, Godfrey and Kirk will explain the roles that Georgia Tech and the Board of Regents (BOR) play in determining tuition and fee levels. Also, the presenters will address how state funding for employee merit increases and student enrollment increases is determined, beginning with the BOR’s request to the Governor on behalf of the University System of Georgia, and financial challenges faced by Georgia Tech this year and future years.

Among faculty panelists were College of Computing Professors Dana Randall (ADVANCE Professor of Computing and Executive Director Institute for Data Engineering and Science) and Annie Antón (Chair, School of Interactive Computing), and College of Engineering Professor Ayanna Howard (Bioengineering Chair in Electrical and Computer Engineering), Leanne West (GTRI and IPaT), and Maryam Alavi (Dean of the Scheller College of Business).

In addition, fifteen students were selected to attend from an internal competition run by the ADVANCE program, which awarded costs to attend the summit through a donation from Microsoft. Students applied and submitted vision statements for the competition, which were narrowed down and awarded by the ADVANCE professors.

“It was really exciting for me to read the vision statements,” Randall said. “I left incredibly excited and inspired because it is not very often you get to stop and just focus on great things that our female students are doing and want to do, and they’re outrageously good.”

Nine College of Computing, six electrical and computer engineering, and one mathematics student were chosen overall.

The event hosted influential leaders from academia, industry, nonprofit, and entrepreneurship spheres, predominantly women, who shared their stories amongst four conference programs: Entrepreneurship, Academe, Leadership, and STEM outreach.

The program consisted of a number of panels and keynote speeches over the course of the two days. Randall and Howard participated in the “Paths and Strategies to Successful and Fulfilling Careers in Academia” panel, while Anton joined an elite panel on academic leadership.

One Georgia Tech Ph.D. student, Sarah Cannon in the School of Computer Science, was also a member of a panel that focused on undergraduates. The discussion, titled “Inspiring Lessons and Success Stories for the Undergrad,” included two working professionals and two current Ph.D. students.

Cannon is in her fourth year pursuing her Ph.D. in algorithms, combinatorics, and optimization and is advised by Randall. She was excited to be a part of the conference and panel because of what the exchange of ideas with peers can lead to in her research.

“It’s a broad conference, but what we’re doing here is increasingly interdisciplinary,” Cannon said. “Right now, (Randall) and I have collaborations going on with some in the physics department. That starts with people meeting and sharing what they’re doing. I was just excited to share what I’ve been working on and hear about the other fascinating things that are being done by women in STEM.”

Georgia Tech ADVANCE was a sponsor of the summit, and Randall was a member of the organizing committee.

During this presentation, GCR's Vice President Dene Sheheane, Federal Relations Director Robert Knotts, Community Relations Director Chris Burke, and Legislative Advocacy Manager Casey Aultman will provide an overview of the Office's three main departments and who they serve, as well as information about the Office’s role with the University System of Georgia Board of Regents.

ADVANCE is dedicated to analyzing and eliminating gender disparities in academia. At Georgia Tech, ADVANCE provides resources to:

• reduce gender bias within the academic setting;
• mitigate barriers for academics due to family responsibilities; and
• increase career advancement opportunities for women in the sciences.

As of 2012, women composed just under 40% of College of Architecture faculty, including four full professors. About 48% of graduate and undergraduate students in the College were female.

There have been huge advancements in gender equality in past decades, particularly at Georgia Tech. However, research here and at other schools show that there are still disparities in promotion and tenure practices, in the proportion of women in full professorships, in allocation of duties, in informal departmental communication and interaction, and in expectations regarding personal or family life. Some of this research is available at:

• Georgia Tech's ADVANCE Measuring Progress webpage
• Georgia Tech's ADVANCE Conference webpage
• Georgia Tech's Ivan Allen College ADVANCE resources webpage

Other NSF ADVANCE resources include:

• Georgia Tech's ADVANCE website
• Georgia Tech's Promotion & Tenure ADVANCE Committee (PTAC) Report
• The ADEPT Tool for Awareness of Decisions in Evaluating Promotion and Tenure
• Report on Best Practices in the RPT Process
• College of Architecture Standards and Procedures for RPT
• Research on Women's Advancement in Academia
• Links to Resources for Balancing Family and Work

If you have any updates or questions about the COA ADVANCE Professor or activities, please contact Angelika Braig.

Additional Information

In this dialogue led by Pearl Alexander and Cheryl Cofield, participants will explore the bullying, incivility, and "lack of collegiality" that falls short of legal or policy violations but, nevertheless, have a dramatically negative impact in workplace and classroom environments. Participants will be introduced to five (5) bully prototypes and contemplate how we might reduce bullying and incivility in the workplace. It is open to all faculty, staff and students.

Space is limited. To register, please RSVP at the link below.

SPEAKER:  Nancy Houfek

Many highly successful women in academia can easily identify what changes need to happen for their organization to succeed, but find it difficult to lead others to confront the challenges facing their group. They often find themselves not heard in the way that they had hoped. The heart of this workshop is to help women use a strategic approach to getting their voices on the table: differentiating types of challenges, understanding factions and what's at stake, using alliances, getting on the balcony, and preparing for meetings in a new way. This workshop also will offer vocal skills designed to help participants be more effective as leaders. The goal is to be heard and understood so that we can successfully influence decision-making in both our professional and our daily lives. Participants will leave with new strategies — theoretical, psychological, and physical — for successfully leading change in their institution or organization.
