ITM is still running to this day and it is by far the largest gathering ofracial/ethnic minority PhD scholars who are interested in faculty careers in academia, includingmany McNair Scholars. A closer examination of the 2019 ITM roster reveals that only 36 of the113 R1 schools studied in this paper sent college representatives to this important gathering. Thisdoes not inspire confidence about the commitment of the engineering professoriate to movebeyond symbolic gestures and addressing this disparity.Much has been written about strategies and practices that can promote a more robust applicantpool and a fairer selection process [4].
