“…Community college faculty members have generally received limited attention in the higher education literature compared to the university professoriate (e.g., Townsend & Twombly, 2007;Twombly & Townsend, 2008). However, the increased availability of large-scale national data sets, such as the National Study of Postsecondary Faculty (NSOPF) survey data, has led to a growing body of research that examines the demographic profile, work roles, and job satisfaction of community college faculty members (e.g., Flowers, 2005;Gahn & Twombly, 2001;Hardy & Laanan, 2006;Isaac & Boyer, 2007;Kim, Twombly, & Wolf-Wendel, 2008;Outcalt, 2002;Perna, 2003;Rosser & Townsend, 2006;Valadez & Anthony, 2001). A number of these studies have specifically focused on minority faculty members' work lives and experiences in community colleges (e.g., Bower, 2002;Flowers, 2005;Isaac & Boyer, 2007;Perna, 2003), but they have not made a distinction between native-born or foreign-born faculty groups.…”

Foreign-born faculty members in community colleges can serve as a valuable resource to their institutions’ growing internationalization efforts. This study uses the data from the 2004 National Study of Postsecondary Faculty to examine the characteristics, job satisfaction, and workplace perceptions of the foreign-born group of the professoriate at public 2-year institutions relative to their U.S.-born peers. Together with other minority faculty groups, foreign-born faculty members, with their diverse cultural and language backgrounds, can be instrumental in serving increasingly diverse student populations in community colleges nationwide. The findings of this study may help 2-year institutions more effectively attract and retain foreign-born faculty members and provide them with a rewarding and supportive workplace.

“…A t test revealed that these mean diversity index scores are significantly different, t (286) = 14.80, p = .000. This finding is likely a symptom of the underrepresentation of minorities among community college faculty members (Kirkpatrick, 2001; Perna, 2003).…”

The Relationship Between Student Body Racial Composition and the Normative Environment Toward Diversity at Community Colleges

While there has been increased scholarship in recent years on diversity in higher education, most of this research has failed to include 2-year institutions in its analyses. This study examined whether the racial composition of the community college student body is correlated with an institution’s normative climate toward three diversity outcomes: student conversations with racially different peers, student conversations with peers holding different beliefs, and student understanding of racially different others. The results indicate that having a more diverse student body had a positive, statistically significant relationship with each outcome. This finding suggests that community colleges, like 4-year institutions, can be positively influenced by enrolling a more racially heterogeneous student body.
