theproportional representation issue does not actually create an inclusive environment supportive ofstudent success [5-7]. Just as equality does not equal equity [8]; parity does not equal inclusion[6, 9]. Hurtado and colleagues (2012) pointed out how compositional diversity is only one factorin creating a diverse learning environment [10]. Efforts designed to increase compositionaldiversity neglect the experiences and different combinations of barriers that individuals mustconfront. "Underrepresented" could also be considered a form of spot-lighting, of continuouslyreminding students that each of them is a "representative" for their social identity group(s) [11].This socially-taxing language reminds individuals that their group is judged by the

On the contrary, the numerical minority status of African American engineeringstudents in PWI exacerbates their vulnerability to feel threatened by the negative stereotypesabout their group. Even as they struggle to maintain a positive ethnic identity, they question thecompatibility between their ethnic and professional identities. As Du Bois states, it is the tensionthat impedes “fluid participation in Black world(s) and white world(s)”. It is for this reason thatAfrican American engineering students in PWIs may struggle more

Faculty should be engaged in supporting these diverse students beyond theirteaching role, including academic advising, coaching and mentoring, social status checks, andmore. Furthermore, faculty involved in these roles should be supported and rewarded, as theywould be for other important campus initiatives. Nonetheless, there are some challenges with thisapproach since research has shown that women and minority faculty typically already have aheavier service load and more diversity responsibilities than do their peers.
