Abstract
Purpose
Hispanic-serving institutions (HSIs), like other universities, are faced with challenges related to faculty diversity. The literature related to faculty at HSIs is scant and so this paper aims to address this gap by problematizing faculty diversity at these institutions.
Design/methodology/approach
By means of a document analysis, the authors have scoured the data on faculty demographics at these institutions and the findings of the study are threefold.
Findings
First, a lack of accessible and transparent data exists. Second, there is a lack of available demographic information and third, this creates a dismal narrative regarding faculty diversity at HSIs.
Research limitations/implications
Further critical research is warranted as a means to uncover data on faculty diversity at HSIs.
Originality/value
This study supports the need for a critical consciousness lens to problematize faculty diversity at HSIs.
