There is evidence of a weed-out culture in STEM, where STEM faculty are said to have aperspective that not all are fit to succeed in the field and that it is solely the student’sresponsibility to demonstrate that they can withstand the rigors of STEM education [29], [43],[44]. Additionally, STEM faculty have reported a general lack of awareness, or concern, for thebroader challenges related to student attrition in STEM.
