Increasing Faculty Diversity


More than one-third of America's college students are people of color. But the percentages of college and university faculty who are members of racial/ethnic minority groups are only small fractions of the total. Nationwide, about 5 percent of faculty are African-American, about 3 percent are Hispanic and about 1 percent are Native American. The SREB-State Doctoral Scholars Program is working to change that.

The program is part of a nationwide initiative, the Compact for Faculty Diversity, to produce more minority Ph.D.s and encourage them to seek faculty positions.

More than 660 Graduates and Counting


Through the program, SREB states share resources, work to expand their minority applicant pools support qualified candidates with financial assistance, and assist graduates and higher education institutions in identifying employment opportunities. Since its founding in 1993, the Doctoral Scholars Program has supported more than 1,100 scholars at 83 institutions in 29 states.

Our 600th Graduate: Lakeia Bailey


Lakeia’s love for science fueled her determination to make her dreams a reality. Her research focuses on molecular hematology and regenerative medicine. Another passion is volunteer and advocacy work for people with sickle cell disease.

Exemplary Practices in Equal Opportunity


The American Society for Public Administration recognized the program with its Equal Opportunity/Affirmative Action Exemplary Practices award for education at its national meeting in March 2012. Program founder and Director Ansley Abraham (left) accepted the award from ASPA President Erik Bergurd.

Dr. Abraham, program director, discusses increasing minority faculty in this interview by Dr. Lamont Flowers, director of the Houston Center for the Study of the Black Experience in Education at Clemson University.
