But that’s in theory. In practice, at IUPUI and elsewhere, many professors who do significant amounts of DEI work say that when it comes to tenure and promotion, they have to contort their efforts into the language of traditional teaching, research and service and hope for the best. Sometimes this works. Sometimes it doesn’t. In such cases, reviewers don’t see DEI-related work as grounds for promotion.
As a result, academe has lost either through attrition or tenure denials untold numbers of scholars devoted to DEI work. These professors are disproportionately likely to be from historically marginalized groups, so the trend doesn’t bode well for academe’s diversity goals. And the cycle of tenured professors rewarding traditional definitions of teaching, research and service continues.

A new strategy for capturing the 3D shape of the human face draws on data from sibling pairs and leads to identification of novel links between facial shape traits and specific locations within the human genome. Hanne Hoskens of the Department of Human Genetics at Katholieke Universiteit in Leuven, Belgium, and colleagues present these findings in the open-access journal
PLOS Genetics.
The ability to capture the 3D shape of the human face and how it varies between individuals with different genetics can inform a variety of applications, including understanding human evolution, planning for surgery, and forensic sciences. However, existing tools for linking genetics to physical traits require input of simple measurements, such as distance between the eyes, that do not adequately capture the complexities of facial shape.

Noelle Broughton is an accomplished student. She’s in a graduate program at Indiana University-Purdue University Indianapolis and is headed for a PhD.
She also struggles with anxiety and self-doubt. As a child, she had a few therapy sessions, but they didn’t last. Now, at 25, she wants to try treatment again before heading to the University of Kansas for her doctorate in public administration.
“But then once I actually took the step to do so, I realized how difficult it is, Broughton said. It feels impossible at times.”

Myranda Tetzlaff is a 25-year-old who has two pit bull mixes named Bub and Goose. She takes them on long walks for exercise. But she recently caught herself backing out of a hike because she was afraid of seeing other people on the trail.
“Oh, it s nice outside, we ve been in a pandemic, and everyone s been cooped up in their homes,” Tetzlaff said. “Oh, that means everyone s going to probably also be at the park. And so that just kind of terrifies me.”
Tetzlaff, a childcare worker, lives in a suburb of Indianapolis. There are still about 1,000 new COVID cases a day in Indiana, but Gov. Eric Holcomb recently lifted the statewide mask mandate and ended restrictions on businesses.
