Abstract

After decades of “pipeline” programs that focus on preparing Black faculty to navigate racist and inequitable environments, institutions must take responsibility for developing programs, policies, and structures to make progress and create change. Given the persistent underrepresentation of Black faculty relative to their population in the U.S. and student body, as well as the unique ways anti-Black racism can manifest in academic departments and programs, leaders must develop strategies specific to the needs and experiences of Black professors. This document provides guidance to institutional leaders and policymakers, highlighting well documented challenges Black faculty face and offering actions to promote equity and justice.
