On-Demand Webinar
The ongoing national conversation about the deadly impact of racism has created an urgency around the need for dramatic change at all levels of society.
Working Session
Faculty diversity has been slow to change despite decades of calls from student activists. Recently, the Black Lives Matter movement has called particular attention to the low numbers of BIPOC faculty. Not only do faculty demographics lag behind the diversity of our campuses and communities, students also miss the benefits of learning from faculty with a diverse range of backgrounds.
Expert Insight
EAB has launched a research initiative to support higher education leaders in their efforts toward institutional reckoning and racial healing.

Toolkit
Despite a diversifying student population, the racial demographics of the faculty at colleges and universities has remained largely unchanged. These tools will help search committee chairs and members implement DEIJ tactics at each step of the faculty hiring process.
Expert Insight
As activists continue to call attention to the racial disparities in faculty demographics, institutional DEIJ plans increasingly include goals to recruit and retain BIPOC faculty. Most higher education institutions do not have standardized DEIJ hiring practices embedded into their processes—but that can change.
Working Session
In these workshops, attendees will gain a broad overview of best practices in BIPOC faculty recruitment and explore a candidate-centric model of hiring. They will network with peers around topics including faculty line allocation, innovative hiring practices such as target-of opportunity hires, and adapting promotion and tenure requirements to reflect institutional DEIJ goals. Each attendee will identify at least once tactic or strategy to bring back to campus and learn how EAB can support institutional diversity, equity, inclusion, and justice (DEIJ) efforts.
