Though Black faculty members have been part of the Penn State community for over 60 years, âthe challenges facing Black faculty are no less formidableâ in 2021, according to the second âMore Rivers To Crossâ report.
As a follow-up to the first report published in January 2020, biobehavioral health professor Gary King and an independent group of Black faculty members published part two of âMore Rivers To Crossâ on March 25.
The 2020 report, which was 93 pages long, examined issues of representation at Penn State and the âracially biasedâ responses from students on Student Rating of Teacher Effectiveness surveys.
Part two of âMore Rivers To Crossâ is a 108-page report that outlines survey results of Black faculty membersâ experiences with racism from students, administrators and colleagues at University Park and commonwealth campuses.
