![]() A looming question that impacts this issue is: Why is faculty diversity important? What impact does it have on the student body? How can universities diversify their campus faculty? Below are some articles that address these questions, and provide some insightful perspectives of how the answers will hopefully improve these numbers. Over the past two decades, these numbers have mostly remained the same. Nationwide, about five percent of faculty are African-American, about three present Hispanic and one percent are Native American. Recent campus conversations and protests have brought to light the lack of faculty that represent the diverse backgrounds of students who are now a part of America's higher education classrooms. In fall 2014, black, Hispanic, Native American and Asian/Pacific Islander students accounted for about one-third of all college enrollment in the United States.
