Ruth Enid Zambrana finds that despite the changing demographics of the nation, the percentages of Black and Hispanic faculty have increased only slightly, while the percentages obtaining tenure and earning promotion to full professor have remained relatively stagnant. Toxic Ivory Towers is the first book to take a look at the institutional factors impacting the ability of URM faculty to be successful at their jobs, and to flourish in academia. The book captures not only how various dimensions of identity inequality are expressed in the academy and how these social statuses influence the health and well-being of URM faculty, but also how institutional policies and practices can be used to transform the culture of an institution to increase rates of retention and promotion so URM faculty can thrive. 517 3 $aConsequences of Work Stress on Underrepresented Minority Faculty 606 $aMinority college teachers$zUnited States 606 $aMinorities in higher education$zUnited States 606 $aFaculty integration$zUnited States 606 $aUniversities and colleges$zUnited States$xFaculty 606 $aDiscrimination in higher education$zUnited States 606 $aHispanic 606 $aURM 606 $ablack 606 $aeducation 606 $afaculty 606 $ahealth 606 $ahigher education 606 $astress 606 $aunder represented minority 606 $aunder-represented minority 606 $aEDUCATION / General$2bisacsh 615 0$aMinority college teachers 615 0$aMinorities in higher education 615 0$aFaculty integration 615 0$aUniversities and colleges$xFaculty. 615 0$aDiscrimination in higher education 615 4$aHispanic. 615 4$aURM. 615 4$ablack. 615 4$aeducation. 615 4$afaculty. 615 4$ahealth. 615 4$ahigher education. 615 4$astress. 615 4$aunder represented minority. 615 4$aunder-represented minority. 615 7$aEDUCATION / General. 676 $a378.1/20973 686 $aEDU015000$aSOC031000$aBUS038000$aPSY050000$aSOC001000$aSOC044000$aSOC050000$2bisacsh 700 $aZambrana$b Ruth E.$01792535 801 0$bDLC 801 1$bDLC 801 2$bDLC 801 2$bCaOWtL 906 $aBOOK 912 $a9910985641703321 996 $aToxic Ivory Towers$94331206 997 $aUNINA
