“…Although institutional betrayal is common and costly (e.g., Smith & Freyd, 2013), it is not inevitable. University leaders can engage in institutional courage (Freyd, 2014;Freyd & Smidt, 2019) by taking a proactive approach to addressing CSV, which can change the campus culture and climate for the better (NASEM, 2019).…”

Women and ethnic minorities are at increased risk for campus sexual violence (CSV). Due to inequality, within-group victimization in marginalized communities includes cultural betrayal. Universities commit institutional betrayal (e.g., inadequate prevention) and institutional support (e.g., sensitivity). With a campus climate survey, the purpose of the study is to characterize, by gender, U.S. ethnic minority undergraduates’ CSV, cultural and institutional betrayal, and institutional support. Participants ( N = 222) were a random sample of ethnic minority undergraduates. College women experienced higher rates of CSV and institutional betrayal. Universities can implement a research agenda that centralizes the role of oppression in CSV.

“…Excluding queries about violence exposure may be a form of institutional betrayal (e.g., by causing harm through omission during our professional roles. Instead, each of us can engage in institutional courage (Freyd, 2014;Freyd & Smidt, 2019) by using our roles as researchers, clinicians, and community healthcare practitioners to assess for past and present exposure of violence, which we then use to inform next steps.…”

“…Moreover, our study shows that Black/African American mothers, especially those with violence histories, assert that violence research is important and should be included in studies. Therefore, even during a time of extreme psychological trauma, sickness, and death, researchers and community practitioners can engage in institutional courage (Freyd & Smidt, 2019) through incorporating the reality of violence into our work with Black/African American mothers. In doing so, we are better equipped to provide trauma-informed and culturally congruent work that can result in radical healing (French et al, 2020) that can benefit all of the Black community.…”

Black/African American communities endure the double pandemic of COVID-19 and police- and civilian-perpetrated anti-Black violence, with Black/African American mothers at risk for exposure to violence in the home. Questions remain about the potential harm in asking about violence exposure, particularly in the current climate. The purpose of the study is to examine Black/African American mothers’ reactions to participating in violence research during the COVID-19 pandemic in the U.S. Participants (N = 127; Age: M = 32.46 years, SD = 5.61 years) were Black/African American mothers living in an urban, predominantly Black city in the Midwestern U.S. who completed online measures of exposure to violence before, during, and after shelter-in-place orders, as well as their reactions to participating in violence research. We found that the majority of participants did not find participation more distressing than other day to day experiences, with 100% of those with violence histories reporting such research is important. The current study’s findings can promote inclusion of violence measures in research and healthcare settings, with results guiding trauma-informed care for Black/African American mothers.

“…Our universities could be places where women scholars were recognized for their diversity in their identities, backgrounds, roles, responsibilities, experiences, work styles, and personalities. To accomplish this, administrators and faculty could engage in institutional courage (Freyd & Smidt, 2019) by proactively creating a culture and climate that promoted people's full selves at work-mind, body, and spirit. Even after the pandemic is over, women scholars could be known both for their work and their humanity.…”

Who Is Okay? The Harm of One-Dimensional Appraisals of Women Scholars During COVID-19 & Beyond

In this essay, I detail how homogenizing appraisals of diverse faculty women during COVID-19 are harmful to all, including myself. I highlight how academic demands to be “talking heads” and not full human beings, though not new, is especially harmful in the current era. As a Black woman faculty dealing with the double pandemic of COVID-19 and anti-Black racism, the one-dimensional appraisals of women faculty exclude me: I am not a mother dealing with sexist overburden in household responsibilities that interfere with my work. Instead, I am dealing with isolation and loneliness, which I sublimate through work productivity. Resulting in shame, I also realize that universities could operate differently, recognizing women scholars for their diversity in identities, backgrounds, responsibilities, work styles, and personalities during the pandemic and beyond. Given that work productivity is not synonymous with well-being, I hope my colleagues know that, in this moment, I am not okay.
