The researchers found that the U.S. professoriate remains largely homogeneous, at 53% white men, 27% white women, 10% men of color combined and 5% women of color. This over-representation of white men becomes even more obvious when examining the faculty by rank, with white men being especially concentrated in senior faculty positions.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Inside Higher Education and The Chronicle of Higher Education featured a study by Leah Hakkola, associate professor of higher education,
