Keeping Our Faculties: Addressing the Recruitment and Retention of
Faculty of Color in Higher Education
About Keeping Our Faculties: This three-day national symposium will be
hosted by the University of Minnesota at the Radisson Hotel Metrodome in
Minneapolis, April 21-23, 2002. We are encouraging wide participation and
attendance from policy makers, senior administrators, researchers,
faculty, students, and other individuals from a cross section of the
nation's community colleges, public and private four-year post-secondary
institutions, and universities.
In 1998, the University of Minnesota hosted the first Keeping Our
Faculties Symposium with great success. Keeping Our Faculties currently
provides the largest national forum for scholarly inquiry regarding
minority faculty recruitment and retention. It also provides
opportunities for collaboration in presenting and soliciting a
"best-practices" exchange from symposium participants. One particular
goal of the 2002 symposium will be to involve participants in an
interactive process to develop principles and practices that support the
diversification of faculty in the academy. The principles and practices
will form the foundation of a white paper.
The 2002 Keeping Our Faculties symposium will offer PLENARIES featuring
invited speakers, CONCURRENT SESSIONS featuring Call for Proposals
submissions, and FACILITATED ROUNDTABLE DISCUSSIONS. Please complete a
Call for Proposals if you would like to present at this national
symposium. For more information on plenary speakers and the conference
program, visit our website at www.oma.umn.edu/kof.
Call for Proposals: We are currently accepting presentation proposals.
Successful submissions will become part of the symposium's Concurrent
