'Quadruple jeopardy' threatens new minority faculty.
Entering a new position in any profession is often an unnerving and challenging experience. The transition becomes even more difficult without a support system.
Dr. Marie Byrd of Southern Illinois University Edwardsville and Dr. Chandra Donnell of the University of Memphis described the challenges of being new assistant professors as female African Americans.
Byrd presented their suggestions to invest in the success of new minority faculty at the September conference of Women in Educational Leadership, sponsored by the University of Nebraska in Lincoln. She is in the school of education and office of educational leadership at SIU.

'Quadruple Jeopardy'
They struggled against four distinct but interconnected entry-level challenges, which they called "quadruple jeopardy." Working against them as new faculty were not only their gender and race, but also their age and level of experience.
African American women faculty in higher education are an extreme minority, Byrd reported. "In 1999, only 6.8% of full-time faculty members in higher education were African American females," she said. And of them, only 6.6% were assistant professors.
