Abstract
After the rise of the suburbs that was in direct response to White Flight in the 1960s-1970s has occurred in major cities around the country, during the 2000s, an influx of Whites were slowly moving back into major cities that has led to inner cities being largely gentrified. The result of the increase in Whites moving to predominantly Black and Latino neighborhoods has been seizing middle class faculty jobs within community colleges even though the student body is largely African Americans and Latinos. The ramifications have been Black faculty that once elevated from Part-Time faculty has now been relegated to permanent Part-Time faculty. This case study will evaluate how a public community college has become a gentrified Full-Time Faculty that has systematically eliminated Blacks’ opportunity for upward mobility that will also track the obstacles to create an equitable hiring practice. It is through this case study that we can examine how institutional practices at public community colleges perpetuate Whiteness with very little ability to remedy discrimination.
Abstract
In the midst of the George Floyd and Black Lives Matter Protest, more racial awareness was happening on all CA community college campuses. Yet, on community college campuses a dichotomy already existed - a majority White female full-time faculty with an overrepresentation of African American students and almost non-existent Black female full-time faculty and a sparsely higher number of Black female part-time faculty body that led to difficult and tense racial conversations during the 2020-2021 academic year. This historical analysis will conceptualize a political theoretical framework of White Women’s tears harming Blacks throughout history in order to analyze how Black women faculty are continually marginalized in sharing their voice, professional contributions, and hiring opportunities by White Women within California Community Colleges.
The Capitol Building has not been attacked since 1812 until January 6, 2021. The attack on the Capitol Building on the day to certify the 2020 Presidential Election was an unprecedented event that needs to be covered in our political science classes because it demonstrates a Constitutional crisis. College classrooms have discussed major controversial topics, so Jan. 6, 2021 should be equally important to discuss. Utilizing political-reality theory, this comparative study of how political science professors taught Nixon’s Watergate and Jan. 6, 2021. A survey will be given to political science professors at 2-year and 4-year private, public, liberal arts, and research institutions in order to determine if and how political science professors are teaching Jan. 6, 2021 in their classrooms. This seminal project will explain how college professors are responding in their classroom to the current political climate.
National, California, and Los Angeles county’s political framework is the foundation of administration, faculty, staff, and students’ physical and political fracturing from 1971 - 1981 that created a two-campus model that aligned amongst politics, which invoked the Pepperdine community to search about the soul of the institution and how should the campus be created and upheld. Utilizing qualitative research through a transactional theoretical lens, this book will examine archival material and interviews to develop a historical conceptual framework on how politics has a direct influence in the development and evolution of higher education institutions.
