Paul Umbach, Assistant Professor of Higher Education in the College of Education at the University of Iowa, will discuss research in the area.

One of the most compelling arguments for diversification of college faculty relates to the important contribution made by faculty of color in the education of undergraduates. However, little empirical evidence supports these claims. This study uses data from a national study of faculty to explore the following questions:

1. Do faculty of color engage students in ways that are significantly different than their White counterparts?
2. Do structural factors, such as diversity of an institution's faculty, relate to the ways in which faculty engage students in and out of the classroom?
