Library publishing and diversity values

摘要

In 2014, students at over 75 higher education institutions demanded "an end to systemic and structural racism on campus." The most common demand among student protesters was an increase in faculty diversity; faculty of color, according to a U.S. Department of Education 2015 report, make up only 16% of full professors. This lack of diversity persists in librarian-ship and publishing, as well. ALA's 2014 demographics update reports the association's membership is 87.1% white, and the annual 2015 Publishers Weekly survey reports that publishers are 89% white/Caucasian.
