Amidst the chaos of the COVID-19 pandemic and the recent Black Lives Matter movement bringing attention to the truth about injustices and inequality, many colleges and universities are working hard to achieve faculty diversity goals. But how? In this episode your host, David Pluviose, talks about proven strategies that work and tips for side stepping the challenges that inevitably arise.
For example, as the student population across U.S. campuses grows more diverse, university faculty remain overwhelmingly white. Amid this paradoxical trend many schools are adopting a “grow your own” model. David breaks down some of the numbers behind this increasingly popular model and addresses many other ways that professionals are fostering inclusivity for today’s college campus.
This is an amazing podcast. I am glad you are stepping up and talking about a sensitive topic that is not talked about enough. Thank you for sharing this information. It effects students in higher education and the effects carry over into the workforce when the students graduate. Some students are tainted because there was not enough taught on diversity and the students perspective are skewed.
Such an amazing platform. So many milestones have been made and so many more to come.
I like that the episodes aren’t too long but are still very informative
Such a great approach on the different perspectives surrounding diversity and how it affects all communities! Enjoying each episode!
