Now that I'm on the other side of it, still one of the very few black (African American) faculty in the Cal State system of 23 campuses, I like to ask a variety of questions.

It's fun, if not always effective, to pick on the management side for their limited recruiting, hiring, and retention abilities, but I must also ask questions of myself. For example, did it matter that I had only one black classroom teacher in my entire K-12 and undergrad experience? Zero coaches and counselors? etc. After all, here I am, with proper degrees and a job and an attitude. ;-)

Hard to tell if it's a matter of "fleeing" or a lack of new hires, but the numbers are what they are.

Hard to tell if it's a matter of "fleeing" or a lack of new hires, but the numbers are what they are.

“Numbers of faculty and staff have not recovered from losses during the great recession, whereas numbers of graduate teaching assistants and administrators have increased,” says a report by professor Anne Donadey of SDSU’s Diversity Equity and Outreach Committee.

As I was preparing my talk, I knew the thing I needed to make clear was that all the good thoughts and feelings about diversity are mostly useless without leadership and institutional willpower.   I also wanted to offer small things that could be done without money and without too much time. Mostly I wanted to make as clear as possible to the faculty of color in attendance that the struggles they might be facing are happening elsewhere.

The Friedrichs case is on the surface about K–12 but all #unions  can be affected by the decision. Quoting:

In Friedrichs v. California Teachers Assn., many court watchers had expected Scalia to deliver the deciding vote against unions, limiting their ability to collect membership dues and other fees. Without Scalia, a 4-4 split is now the likely outcome. That would maintain the status quo — and amount to a huge win for unions.
