Question

There appears to be a lack of faculty diversity. White Americans make up 79 percent of all full-time faculty members, as compared with _____ percent of African Americans, 4.2 percent of Hispanic Americans, and 0.5 percent of Native Americans.

Answer 1

Nearly 5% of African Americans are working as full-time faculty members.

Step-by-step explanation:

US Department of Education initiates several steps to improve the status of academic discipline. Many Universities appoints many eminent professors to fill the gap of diversified faculty positions. But the faculty positions are mainly reserved for white American origin faculty members for 79%. The remaining percentage is fixed for African Americans by 5%.

The negative factors of Economic crisis, Race differences, comparison of economical soundness of white American people with African Americans paved the way for getting a very low percentage of filling the faculty vacancies for economically weaker sections.
