This fall semester, students at San Jos\u00e9 City College are attending courses taught by some of the most diverse faculty in the nation, according to new data from the Chronicle of Higher Education.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
According to the Chronicle\u2019s \u201cDiversity Index,\u201d published recently, ranks \u201ccolleges with the greatest racial and ethnic diversity among faculty members,\u201d SJCC ranks No. 3 and Evergreen Valley College No. 5 nationally among all two-year public institutions.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u201cWhile we certainly benefit from being located in one of the most diverse regions in the country, we have also been very intentional with our faculty recruitment process to ensure that we are identifying the most highly qualified and talented faculty members to fill our available positions,\u201d said Dr. Beatriz Chaidez, San Jos\u00e9 \u2013 Evergreen Community College District\u2019s interim chancellor. \u201cBy taking steps to ensure we recruit diverse applicant pools, we are able to hire the best and brightest faculty from throughout the nation and world.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

According to research, having a faculty of instructors who reflect the racial and ethnic diversity of the students they teach is beneficial for multiple reasons. One study published in 2018 in the journal\u00a0Intercultural Education<\/a>\u00a0concluded that graduation rates for students of color are positively affected by increased diversity of their faculty. A more recent study published in the\u00a0Community College Journal of Research and Practice<\/a>\u00a0found \u201ca significant strong positive relationship between graduation, transfer, and drop-out rates\u201d for community college students of color as faculty diversity increases.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u201cRepresentation matters,\u201d Interim Chancellor Chaidez said. \u201cIt\u2019s important that our students have educational role models with whom they can identify and an opportunity to learn from faculty from a variety of backgrounds.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n
The Chronicle of Higher Education\u2019s Diversity Index measures \u201cthe probability that any two full-time instructional faculty members at an institution are from different racial or ethnic groups.\u201d<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
