inclusivecampus climates, there is still underrepresentation of Blacks/African Americans,Latinx/Hispanics, and Native Americans (including Native Hawaiians and Alaska Natives)within the STEM professoriate nationwide. For students who are members of these groups, theculturally isolating experience this deficit creates can weaken one’s academic self-perception,and hinder performance in STEM disciplines. This paper explores the relationship betweenintentionality towards diversity and inclusion in faculty job postings and corresponding facultydemographics at a variety of US postsecondary institutions. The research questions we areinvestigating are: • In what ways are diversity and inclusion implicitly and explicitly addressed in the

bereavement within academia, particularly among graduate students and faculty,remains limited. Academics, especially women, already grapple with a myriad of demands, andgrief adds another layer of emotional, physical, and psychological challenges, disrupting work-life balance [11]. As grief in academia is multifaceted, there is a need for supportive andinclusive environments that acknowledge and address the diverse experiences of grief amongwomen in academia.Work-Life BalanceWork-life balance can be defined as the act of managing the responsibilities and roles that aperson assumes both in their workplace and personal life while being fully engaged in each roleand demonstrating an attitude of attentiveness and care [19], [20].

Today, higher education (includingstudents and faculty) would most likely be more diverse if not for systemic, structural, andinterpersonal sexism and racism that have acted and continue to act as barriers to graduateeducation and careers in the academe. These same systems and structures within highereducation that were intentionally designed to exclude women and people of color remainrelatively unchanged, thereby facilitating an inequitable culture that self-perpetuates, leading tothe disparities demonstrated by existing statistics and literature related to participation andpersistence.Furthermore, before marginalized students even apply to graduate school, they must have had topersist through an educational pathway
