Great post Jourdan! The phenomenon coined as “The Revolving Door of Faculty of Color” is very interesting, which indeed represents the vicious cycle FOC can go through at PWIs. Would it be counter productive to form a support system for FOC at Muhlenberg? Some students may not feel comfortable with what support Muhlenberg tries to give them. What can we do as a community to develop a stronger support system for both FOC and SOC?

I enjoyed reading this post! You raise a very good question about what can be done. Although I do not know the answer to this question, all I know is that more indeed has to be done.

Jourdan, this post is extremely insightful and interesting. I’m so happy you decided to write about faculty of color and their unrecognized labor. I wonder if there could be an alternative to these faculty members becoming burned out, maybe someone who is there to support them as well. If that was the case, would it just be a never-ending chain of invisible and tireless labor from faculty of color?

Also, I noticed that you said faculty typically “rileave,” I am wondering what this means.
