Scientists call for the National Science Foundation to add a question about sexual orientation to its 2023 workforce surveys.
directing federal agencies to “advance the responsible and effective collection” of gender identity and sexual orientation data.To ensure that adding or revising questions on its surveys wouldn’t result in people quitting them or otherwise distorting the data collected, NCSES ran a pilot of its college graduates survey in 2021 with 5,000 respondents. It included both a gender identity and a sexual orientation question.
Conron applauds the agency’s inclusion of a gender identity question, but says that it was a “fail on the part of NSF not to include more traditional measures of sexual orientation”. In the open letter, Freeman calls on the agency to release the full data of the pilot study. Whether or not the NSF will exclude the sexual orientation question from its other scientific workforce surveys is an open question. Freeman says it would be unusual for the agency to exclude it from the college graduates survey and then add it for other 2023 surveys.for the survey. The OMB will then have about 30 days to review the NCSES’s materials and all public comments, after which it could either approve the plan or ask the agency to revise it.
