Sommers says the nature of Expos appointments makes it difficult to interest qualified minority professors.
Professors are hired yearly and given one-year contracts, which can then be renewed for up to five years. Most preceptors stay with the program for only three years. None are guaranteed long-term job security with Expos.
And for that reason it is difficult to do anything about the supply of minority candidates, Lane says. Although Lane turned down two tenure track offers to work in the Expos department, she says not many candidates in her position would do the same thing.
But those in the program note that Expos offers many courses dealing with issues of race and ethnicity, even though its faculty is almost all white.
Expos preceptor Carolyn Austin says that though there are not many racial minorities on the Expos faculty, there is a great deal of diversity among their disciplines.
