The demands of the academic profession and the ways that universities are increasingly shaped by the neoliberal ideologies of competitiveness, individualism, and conformity, influence how racialized faculty perceive their experiences within universities and position themselves to effectively navigate and/or resist the assimilating terrain. The findings from an analysis of approximately eighty-nine interviews with racialized faculty members in universities across Canada indicate that racialized faculty members employ three strategic tendencies-compliance, pragmatism, and critical participation-to maintain their presence in their universities and assert their role as professors, and, in so doing, conform to, resist, and/or transform the institution. Les exigences de la carrière universitaire et l'orientation des universités de plus en plus marquée par les idéologies libérales de compétitivité, d'individualisme et de conformité, influencent la manière dont le corps professoral racialisé perçoit son expérience au sein de son institution et se positionne afin de louvoyer avec quelque efficacité et/ou de résister à ce terrain assimilateur. Les résultats de l'analyse d'environ quatre-vingt-neuf entrevues avec ses membres partout au Canada indiquent qu'ils suivent stratégiquement trois tendances - soumission, pragmatisme et participation critique - pour maintenir leur présence dans leurs établissements et affirmer leur rôle de professeurs ainsi que, ce faisant, se conformer à l'institution, y résister et/ou la transformer
