The Minority Scholarship-in-Residence Program grows out
of
the conviction that a strong representation of minority
scholars on the faculties of liberal arts colleges is
essential. The presence of African American, Asian
American,
Hispanic American, and Native American scholars has a
two-fold effect: it provides greater diversity of
experience
and perspective within the faculty and in the curriculum,
and it provides necessary role models
for minority scholars. Recognizing this important and
beneficial effect, some
member institutions of the Consortium for a Strong
Minority
Presence at
Liberal Arts Colleges, an association of selective
undergraduate institutions, have developed a program to
meet
the challenge. Its immediate aim is to assist minority
scholars in the early stages of their careers. The
further
aim of the program is to produce a pool of minority
scholars
who will have first-hand experience teaching at liberal
arts
colleges and may, therefore, choose to apply for
positions
at member institutions of the consortium or at similar
institutions as these become available. Applications are
invited in all disciplines.
