Title
Gender and ethnic diversity of members of US university natural resource program external advisory board members, 2017-2022
Abstract
This dataset contains deidentified demographics information for the members of external advisory boards that serve university natural resource programs. Data collected in 2017 and 2022 represents a sample of land-grant, National Association of University Forestry Program-affiliated, TIMES-ranked universities and colleges. Each row represents a member of an advisory board. Data collection was completed in two years: 2017 and 2022. Data was collected from department webpages and lists of advisory board members provided by department personnel. As needed, information was augmented through internet searches for public LinkedIn pages, organizational pages, local news stories, etc. Data include a unique respondent ID, a code for the university they are from, their employer affiliation (e.g., NGO, federal government, NR business, etc.) and their gender and ethnicity measured as binary variables.
