... A pre-workshop survey and deliberations at the workshop itself sought to explain why past recommendations to improve diversity had not been adopted in full or in part. Using the survey and workshop responses, researchers identified a number of key impediments: • lack of incentives for faculty and institutions; • inadequate or only short-term financial support; • unsupportive institutional and faculty culture and environment; • lack of institutional and constituent engagement; • systemic problems in higher education, including inadequate faculty skills and K-12 engagement; • lack of learning communities that can improve retention; • a difficult curriculum, heavy on math; and • inadequate assessments, metrics, and data tracking.
