Abstract | This paper describes the attitudes, perceptions, and preferences of faculty at Hispanic Serving Institutions (HSI) and Predominantly Black Institutions (PBI). Using the 1999 National Study of Postsecondary Faculty (NSOPF-99) data set, the authors compared instructors of these minority serving institutions with instructors from similar institutions that had high enrollments of Caucasian students. Highlighting dissimilarities allows everyone to understand how campus environments and faculty culture may differ between minority serving institutions and other Predominantly White Institutions (PWI) campuses with similar academic large groups when student populations, institutional mission, and educational goals differ. In this study, the authors attempt to address that issue by grouping institutions according to missions. These factors are examined under the framework of campus environments and institutional ethos. Brown and Lane (2003) cautioned against comparing all institutions within Carnegie Classification and examining differences across campuses of different population groupings. Historically, many postsecondary institutions in the United States were established to improve society, empower its citizens, and promote democratic values. The aim to educate citizens enhanced the diversity of American higher education. Understanding campus environments and faculty attitudes toward undergraduate education helps everyone examine institutional environments and educational structures to see whether they encourage opportunity for future leaders in the society.
