This chapter compares the racial and ethnic diversity among faculty and academic leaders with that of the student population in two‐year colleges. Using two national data sets, this study reveals that African American and Hispanic faculty and academic leaders remain underrepresented compared to the number of students of color attending the nation's two‐year colleges.
