As of fall 2019, Texas State employs 159 Black-identifying faculty and staff members â a number considerably less than other racial and ethnic groups. As a result, some Black faculty and staff members question whether this is the result of mistreatment, microaggressions or a lack of opportunities and representation at the university.
âWhen I came to Texas State, there were nine total Black faculty, maybe a couple of others who were part-time,â said Dr. Dwight Watson, former special assistant to the president for minority affairs and an associate professor of history. âSo, you know, Black folks were somewhat of a novelty. You could go for days and not see a Black faculty member.â
