Faculty of Color in Academe focuses on inequities based on racial and ethnic differences within the professional workplace in higher education. This book draws on a comprehensive study of African American, Asian Pacific American, American Indian, and Latino faculty in eight mid-western states. By using both narrative and statistical data, this text provides an in-depth view of the issues surrounding the successful recruitment, retention, and development of faculty of color.

The authors attempt to capture and describe some of the similarities and differences experienced by faculty among each of the above mentioned racial/ethnic groups. Scholars, practitioners, and decision-makers will benefit from the information in this text, which includes a comprehensive discussion of what needs to be done in order to achieve diversity in the teaching profession.
