New book: Exposing the Culture of Arrogance in the Academy

by E Wayne Ross on September 13, 2005

Black faculty members “continue to struggle for full inclusion in the academy,” according to a new book, Exposing the “Culture of Arrogance” in the Academy: A Blueprint for Increasing Black Faculty Satisfaction in Higher Education (Stylus).

The book is based on surveys of and interviews with black faculty members and the experiences of the two authors: Gail L. Thompson, an associate professor of education at Claremont Graduate University, and Angela C. Louque, a professor of education at California State University at San Bernardino.

Thompson recently responded to questions from Inside Higher Ed about the new book.
