Jessica Harris, PhD, from the Graduate School of Education and Information Studies<\/a> at the University of California, Los Angeles<\/a> (UCLA) is conducting a research study to explore multiracial tenured\/tenure track faculty members\u2019 experiences within the academy.<\/p>\n

Why is this study being done?<\/strong><\/p>\n
