Improving Organizational Performance and Change in Rural-Serving Community Colleges
Objective/Research Question: The purpose of this study was to examine how innovative rural-serving community college presidents lead their institutions through change and innovation in response to the evolving nature of work. Specifically, the study sought to identify the strategies used to enhance organizational performance and the systemic changes needed to support innovations that promote student success. Methods: A qualitative case study meth…
Native Student Organizations
Employing the Culturally Engaging Campus Environments (CECE) model as the theoretical framework, this case study examined the role that Native Student Organizations (NSOs) played for Native American students at Non-Native Colleges and Universities (NNCU), specifically at a public four-year institution in North Carolina. We utilize our findings to develop actionable steps for higher education institutions to build more inclusive and equitable envi…
Early Effects of North Carolina’s Comprehensive Articulation Agreement on Credit Accumulation Among Community College Transfer Students
Gendered and Racialized Perceptions of Faculty Workloads
Faculty workload inequities have important consequences for faculty diversity and inclusion. On average, women faculty spend more time engaging in service, teaching, and mentoring, while men, on average, spend more time on research, with women of color facing particularly high workload burdens. We explore how faculty members perceive workload in their departments, identifying mechanisms that can help shape their perceptions of greater equity and …
Department Conditions and Practices Associated with Faculty Workload Satisfaction and Perceptions of Equity
For decades, national surveys have shown faculty report high levels of dissatisfaction with the distribution of labor in their departments, especially women and underrepresented minority faculty. Research suggests this dissatisfaction is warranted, as these groups are often engaged in more service, mentoring, and institutional housekeeping than their peers. Despite the ample work revealing workload inequities and their consequences, few studies h…
Parental Influences on Low-Income, First-Generation Students’ Motivation on the Path to College
Reports abound about the challenges that first-generation, low-income students face on the path to higher education. Yet despite these barriers, millions of low-income, first-generation students persevere. What or who influences their motivation to “stay the course” to higher education? Using self-determination theory as a framework, this cross-case study highlighted the motivational experiences of seven low-income, first-generation students and …
My Story, My Identity
We are deeply concerned about the small representation of faculty of color in the academy; thus, we address the question of how and why doctoral students of color choose a particular career path. This qualitative research study, through the voices of the doctoral students of color, identifies and explains both the overt and covert obstacles encountered by graduate students of color in their consideration of academic careers. The stories of leadin…

College Student Access
Students from rural areas face additional burdens, such as affordability, academic preparation, and lack of college-going resources that make seeking, enrolling, and attending college more difficult. Community colleges offer hope to achieve a college degree for many rural students, and well-developed articulation agreements can be one way of improving access for these students
Supporting the Academic Majority
The academic workforce in higher education has shifted in the last several decades from consisting of mostly full-time, tenure-track faculty to one comprised predominantly of contingent, non-tenure-track faculty. This substantial shift toward part-time academic labor has not corresponded with institutions implementing more supportive policies and practices targeted toward part-time faculty. This study examines the associations between part-time f…
Dialect and Influences on the Academic Experiences of College Students
The dialects that college students speak represent a type of diversity that can influence many elements of their experiences in college, including academic experiences. In this study, we examined the influence of speaking a stigmatized dialect on academic experiences for White and African American students (both male and female) from rural Southern Appalachia attending a large research institution in the urban South. This qualitative study was ai…
Graduate student dissonance
This qualitative investigation examined the experiences of a population of graduate students - graduate students of color - in a U. S. research university (a) to indicate reasons for their dilemmas, ambiguities, and decisions about choosing an academic career, and (b) to identify the practices of one research university's graduate programs that have considerable influence upon graduate students' decisions about pursuing an academic career. For gr…
Navigating the Transfer Process
Researchers are beginning to understand that there are some differential effects on students in relation to exposure to part-time faculty; one possible explanation may be differences depending on program area. This study explores whether exposure to part-time faculty differentially affects students’ likelihood of transferring across academic program areas. The findings confirm prior research identifying a negative relationship between students’ i…
The Role of Culture in Institutional and Individual Approaches to Civic Responsibility at Research Universities
This cross-site analysis examines the findings from an ethnographic study conducted at two research universities. The study employed a conceptual framework that links ideology, culture, and action to understand the relationship between institutional culture and civic responsibility. Implications center on institutional effectiveness and student development related to civic responsibility.s
