Book SynopsisTrade Review"Winner of the PROSE Award in Education Theory and Practice, Association of American Publishers"
"In this important book, Gasman (Rutgers Univ.) takes a closer look at problematic hiring practices at the 62 member institutions of the Association of American Universities (AAU). Written in a conversational style, her book draws on countless interviews she conducted with faculty and administrators at the nation’s leading universities. . . . Though written with AAU institutions in mind, the practical advice Gasman offers should also be applied in all other higher education contexts. Only then will there be a noticeable and much-needed change in faculty hiring across the country and thus a true commitment to inclusive excellence."
---G. Thuswaldner, Choice"Although it is a difficult task to speak to and appease such broad audiences, by placing professors’ engagement with DEI efforts as constitutive of their job as professors,
Doing the Right Thing’s use of a wide lens convincingly shows how investments in elite affiliations are part of defending a White professoriate. To this end, Gasman impressively combines quantitative and qualitative data to support her argument and provides a benchmark for future debates on DEI in higher education."
