Abstract

In this essay, the meaning of diversity is explored as it pertains to senior underrepresented minority (URM) faculty experiences. The experiences of senior URM faculty were gathered through the URM Senior Scholars Histories Project to bring more visibility to racist and sexist practices and to the lack of diversity among faculty within research universities. This brings into question the use of the term diversity in higher education, a term that is often used, but falls short of a clear definition and plan for its implementation for better serving faculty, staff, and students. Through a brief overview of the use of the term diversity in higher education, it becomes apparent that it has been used as a pretty word for nearly 50 years, despite tireless efforts to make real, transformative structural changes within higher education institutions. The question now is: where do we go from here and what can we do to build and create new ways of being that embrace diversity as the norm?

多样性
在这篇文章中,我们将探讨多样性的含义,因为它与少数族裔代表性不足(URM)的资深教师的经历有关。通过 "URM资深学者历史项目 "收集了URM资深教师的经历,目的是让人们更多地了解种族主义和性别歧视的做法,以及研究型大学中教师缺乏多样性的问题。这使人们对高等教育中多样性这一术语的使用产生了疑问,虽然这一术语经常被使用,但却没有一个明确的定义和实施计划来更好地服务于教职员工和学生。通过对多样性一词在高等教育中使用情况的简要概述,我们可以清楚地看到,近 50 年来,尽管高等教育机构为实现真正的、变革性的结构改革做出了不懈的努力,但多样性一直被当作一个漂亮的词来使用。现在的问题是:我们该何去何从?我们能做些什么来建立和创造新的存在方式,将多样性视为常态?
