Focus of the book:
Although colleges and universities are enrolling far more minority and women students, they are failing to diversify
their faculty. This book illustrates the barriers that women and especially minorities find blocking their entry and
advancement in the professoriate. The author then offers a number of good practices for majority campuses, departments,
and individual faculty to follow that will improve their evaluation, recruitment, retention, and mentorship of women and minorities.
"A book of deep passion and commitment. Those already dedicated to the project of faculty diversity will be fortified,
renewed, and energized. Cynics and skeptics may yet be persuaded that are real solutions. We cannot afford to ignore
this book."
--Evelyn Hu-DeHart, Professor of History and Director, Center for the Study or Race and Ethnicity in America,
Brown University
"A first-rate job, with numerous practical strategies for academic leaders. Faculty Diversity: Problems and
Solutions is 'one-stop shopping' for those who wish to make progress in this important arena."
--Denice Denton, President of U.CA.-Santa Cruz and former Dean and Professor of Engineering, University of Washington
"This book should be extensively used by majority departments and campuses. Dr. Moody's clear and unflinching
description of 'extra taxes' for minority faculty and 'hidden profits' for majorities is followed by concrete recommendations
for correcting this profoundly disturbing situation."
--Frank W. Hale, Jr., Vice Provost and Professor Emeritus, Ohio State University
"Any college administrator who is serious about diversifying the faculty needs to read this book. Based on years
of experience and research, JoAnn Moody has provided a practical, no-nonsense guide to the effective recruitment and retention
of faculty of color."
--Beverly Daniel Tatum, President, Spelman College
"The strength of the book is the mixture of theoretical and policy-related information that leads to practical,
'hands-on' suggestions for creating change. A critical resource for informing practice."
--William Tierney, Wilbur Kieffer Professor of Education, University of Southern California
