Our primary source of information will be the Carleton website, using the staff biographies. This data is set up a little differently in each staff member’s biography because they write it up themselves, so right now, we are planning to put all of this data into a spreadsheet by ourselves. Carleton owns this data and we are able to use it because it is fully accessible to the public on the Carleton website. All of the information on the website was written by the professor, so it is not a privacy concern.

Information For Faculty Candidates – This secondary source of material is a Carleton website made by the Office of Provost that includes statistics about full time faculty members at Carleton. This includes pie charts and graphs of information such as faculty residence, their academic divisions, gender distribution, etc. We plan to include the website’s information about the gender of faculty and their tenure status in our data visualization. This page is open to the public, so we are able to use it in our final project as long as the citation from above is utilized. The information on the page is maintained by Yansi Pérez who is an associate provost. The webpage does not contain any sensitive information that could raise ethics concerns.

I’m looking forward to seeing the diversity of Carleton professors that your group project will find. I skim over the source website, so I have a few questions. For example, how your group plans to add to (or use) the statistics of the full-time faculty members of Carleton so that your project provides meaningful insights.
I’m interested to see the results of the project y’all are putting together. Knowing more about our faculty and staff beyond just some of the basic demographics that Carleton sometimes provides will be a cool way to see visualized. Especially in regards to their self-descriptions, which can range from more professional to fun!
Getting all this information I was curious if it resulted in any research questions or hypotheses that will guide your presentation. How do you deal with missing or incomplete data? I highly anticipate your project anyways!
