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

stereotypes regarding AfricanAmericans academic capabilities, their numerical majority status within the HBCU context actsas a buffer enabling them to perceive their racial and professional identity as compatible andintegrated. 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

interviewed, hadgraduated over one thousand women doctorates but had hired only seven in the period in question. Apartfrom recruitment challenges, underrepresentation in engineering may also be due to poor science degreecompletion rates among these groups as racial minority students have much lower STEM completionrate than their white counterparts (Higher Education Research Institute [HERI], 2010). This createsscarcity of minority Ph.D.’s that feed the faculty ranks in engineering and related fields.The literature discusses many factors that affect recruitment of diverse faculty. Implicit bias is one ofthem. Greenwald and Krieger (2006) introduces implicit bias as “an aspect of the new science ofunconscious mental processes that has substantial
