The Recruitment and Support of Latino Faculty for Tenure and Promotion
De Luca, Susan M.; Escoto, Ernesto R.
Journal of Hispanic Higher Education, v11 n1 p29-40 Jan 2012
Retaining and supporting Latino faculty is a challenge for many colleges and universities in the United States. This article focuses on the unique experiences faced by Latino junior faculty, when power differentials between senior faculty are most prominent in their career, and examines the cultural norms of "personalismo", "familismo", and collectivism and their professional experiences. Recommendations are made regarding how organizational policies can promote a more inclusionary environment for Latino and Latina faculty members.
