They utilized online communication tools such as Zoom and Microsoft (MS) Teams tohost their office hours, advise and mentor students, or have one-on-one conversations withstudents in need. Many students felt comfortable sending direct messages to a faculty membervia MS Teams and most faculty responded to those messages in a timely matter – somethingstudents deeply appreciated. Showing care for students is especially important during pandemicwhen not only students’ learning is impacted but also their mental and physical health.

During our deductive coding, themesemerged that extended beyond the scope of the original SCCT framework. These additionalthemes prompted a shift toward phenomenography to better capture the diverse experiences andperceptions of the participants. Phenomenography, which focuses on understanding variations inhow individuals experience and interpret phenomena, provided a more flexible lens for exploringthe rich and nuanced data from the interviews.The inductive pattern coding stage was largely guided by Miles and

On the other hand, experienced discrimination seems to impact men’s views of equityclimate more than women’s. Although Bairoh and Putila [31] did not study EQC, theirfindings suggest that men who had experienced (gender-based) discrimination were ratherpessimistic about equity in their work communities.
