 student, in their survey responses, raised a concern with the phrasing of these questions. They noted that “differently” is not necessarily a negative, and that, ideally, faculty would treat students differently in response to the different needs that students have depending upon their backgrounds, their identity, and their current situations. This point is well taken, and we will be more careful in how we talk and think about these issues in future work. However, in this survey, it appears that students assumed the term referred specifically to negative treatments, and so we believe students’ responses here are still informative.  Almost 30% of all students surveyed observed that some students treat their classmates differently based on their

autoethnographic method uses multiple autoethnographies from individualsof similar social locations or social experiences to triangulate upon common shared experienceswhile allowing for diversity of experience [30]. Multiple coauthors of similar social location alsoassist in the interpretation for cultural and social meaning. In this study, two coauthors of thispaper were also the research participants in the autoethnographic data collection. This methodhas been applied in higher education studies to research underrepresented populations such asfemale psychology student leaders, drug abuse counselors, foreign-born faculty of color, andblack trans/nonbinary students [30-32, 20]. Feminist and critical autoethnographic methods can inform analytical
