Ethnic Minority Scholars, Research, and Mentoring: Current and Future Issues

Analyzing gender differences in black faculty marginalization through a sequential mixed‐methods design

“…Tenure and promotion decisions are primarily based on scholarly productivity, particularly at research universities. Commitments that draw faculty time away from research can be detrimental, and faculty of color are required to demonstrate the same rate of scholarly productivity regardless of their engagement in service activities (Padilla, 1994;Tierney and Bensimon, 1996). Thus, understanding high service expectations and commitments as a "tax," an extra time commitment that must be paid on top of other responsibilities, is an appropriate analogy in many ways.…”

The Nature of Student Affairs Work at Historically Black Colleges and Universities

“…Faculty of color are less likely to be tenured, spend more time on teaching and administrative duties than research, and tend to have lower academic rank than their White counterparts (Astin, Antonio, Cress, & Astin, 1997;Nettles & Perna, 1995). Findings also suggest that faculty of color fulfill additional roles as advisors and mentors (Menges & Exum, 1983;Padilla, 1994).…”

“…For purposes of this study, three categories were relevant: (a) expository essays on the development of HBCUs during the postEmancipation era (Allen & Jewell, 2002;Anderson, 1988;Brown & Davis, 2001;Browning & Williams, 1978;Evans et al, 2002), (b) empirical studies involving students who attend HBCUs (Berger & Milem, 2000;Freeman & Thomas, 2002), and (c) studies on Black faculty and those who teach at HBCUs (Billingsley, 1982;Menges & Exum, 1983;Nettles & Perna, 1995;Padilla, 1994). A review of the literature reveals that most extant sources are of the first order.…”

Disrupting Equilibrium: Working for Equity and Social Justice in Education for English Learners

“…I do not yet know how this story will end for me, or the EL K-12 population, but I do know that I will continue to seek other methods of serving the EL student population in this state. Padilla (1994) calls the dichotomous tension between the desire to serve his/her cultural and/or linguistic community in a specified capacity and the involuntary placement of service and possibly not being rewarded for this service "cultural taxation" (p. 26). Many faculty of color in the academy find themselves under "cultural taxation" (Turner, 2003).…”
