Chancellor Tien and several department deans were also present to congratulate the women faculty members. There are currently 308 women faculty at Berkeley, comprising 22 percent of the faculty population. Last year, women made up 21 percent of the faculty. And 20 percent are from minority groups. There won't be many slots open after that.
Some aggressive recruitment is needed to bring in the top candidates.
