We Can't Find Any: The Elusiveness of Black Faculty Members in American Higher Education.

Harvey, William B.; Scott-Jones, Diane

Issues in Education, v3 n1 p68-76 Sum 1985

Examines the current status of black scholars in colleges and universities and finds that they are not represented in any significant numbers at the predominantly white institutions. The apparent inability of these institutions to maintain goals of affirmative action is inconsistent with their ability to sustain commitment to other issues and concerns. (MD)
