As the diversity of students on college campuses continues to increase, the racial and ethnic diversity among faculty members continues to lag (Jayakumar, Howard, Allen, & Han, 2009; Turner, Myers, & Creswell, 1999). An often overlooked segment of this problem is the 2-year-college setting. With increasing numbers of students of color achieving baccalaureate and graduate degrees and aspiring to teach, why do many 2-year colleges continue to struggle to increase the racial diversity of their teaching ranks? What is a reasonable expectation for diversity in a community college faculty; that is, what proportion of faculty members should one expect will be individuals of color? What are some of the ethical dilemmas that affect decision making in efforts to increase the hiring of people of color into 2-year college faculties? This article responds to these questions in a case study of a 2-year college in a midsized Midwestern city. Through interrogating hiring procedures and identifying reasonable expectations for diversity within a college faculty, ethical dilemmas and practical implications of efforts to increase the hiring of faculty members of color emerge.
