[phas-dept] New statistics on diversity in physics

[Kurtis Williams]

New statistics on underrepresented groups in the physical sciencs from the APS.

The good news: Our field isn't as horrible as it has!
The bad news: Our field is still horrible!

Thanks to Dr. Bertulani for bringing this to our attention.

While Hispanics are still underrepresented among degree recipients, there
has been an increased attainment of bachelor¹s degrees in the physical
sciences and engineering that is encouraging.

Our 2012 survey shows slower growth rates than in 2008 and continued
under-representation of African Americans,  Hispanics, and women of color
among physics and astronomy faculty members.
