Comparison of STEM and Life Sciences Departments in Japanese and U.S. Universities Using the Academic Gender Equity Index (Academic_GEI)

Caption

In the bubble chart, the horizontal axis shows the proportion of women faculty members, while the vertical axis represents research performance of women faculty members versus that of all faculty members (with 1.0 meaning no difference between men and women). The size of each bubble represents the number of women faculty members in the Schools/Institutes. At UCSD, not only is the proportion of women faculty more than double that of Japan, but there is also no significant difference in research performance between men and women.
