Do you have any information on the race/ethnicity of college and university faculty and staff?

Response:
About 15 percent of U.S. faculty in colleges and universities were minorities in 2003 (based on a total excluding persons whose race/ethnicity was unknown, but including non-resident aliens who were not identified by race/ethnicity). Six percent of the faculty were Black; 5 percent, Asian/Pacific Islanders; 4 percent, Hispanic; and 0.5 percent, American Indian/Alaska Native. Nearly half of college faculty (47 percent) were White males, while 36 percent were White females. About 17 percent of executive, managerial, and administrative staffs were minorities in 2003, compared to about 31 percent of the nonprofessional staff. The proportion of minority staffs at public 4-year colleges (22 percent) was similar to the proportion at private 4-year colleges (21 percent).
