demographics of our country are changing at a rapid pace. According to thelast American Community Survey (ACS) from the Census Data (2015), 71.81% of schoolage individuals, who are speakers of languages other than English, identified themselvesas Spanish speakers. Soon, Hispanics and Latinx will become the largest minority in ournation. In this population, 60% of the households are considered by the system as LimitedEnglish Proficiency with low levels of college attainment (US Census, 2015). Yet, yearsof educational reform have no resulted in educational gains for students who are Englishlearners. For instance, during the 2011 NAEP writing assessment, 99% of eighth- andtwelfth-grade students classified as English language learners (ELL) performed

2016. This is after a 9.9% tuition increase in 2012-2013. Withcuts to financing programs and other federal grants, the burden of paying for college may detereconomically disadvantaged URMs from going to college or graduating from college. The effects of the budget cuts and tuition increases can be seen in the decrease in enrollmentat HBCUs. Of the eleven HBCUs in NC, only three saw enrollment percentage increases in full-time students, while seven saw double digit decreases from 2010-2013. Smaller colleges anduniversities such as HBCUs and UNCP, which are URM dominated, have smaller endowmentsand depend heavily on tuition dollars and government funding to continue operations.C.

universityfaculty, particularly those in STEM fields are not familiar with these terms. Therefore, the firststep in establishing the faculty development program was to develop a definition for culturallyresponsive pedagogy.In order to gain buy-in from stakeholders, our definition of CRP needed to be culturallyresponsive to the existing administration and faculty of Angelo State University. To do this, webuilt upon the work of Ladson-Billings (1995, 2014), Gay (2002, 2010), Wlodkowski &Ginsberg (1995), and Castaneda and Mejia (2018) but couched our definition in the concept ofstudent centeredness (a familiar term on our campus), and in the context of the university’smission statement. The CRP definition developed for the campus is: Culturally
