Hiring and Retaining Diverse Staff
Retaining a racially diverse faculty starts with strategic and comprehensive recruiting efforts.
The composition of student bodies is changing significantly, as the numbers of students of color continue to grow on campus.
Faculty selection processes need to change, also, to better meet the needs of the current generation of college students.
To keep pace with changing times, higher education institutions must continue to focus on recruiting and retaining a more diverse and culturally competent faculty.
Faculty members possessing multicultural competence are best able to teach, advise, and mentor school populations with increased racial diversity.
