The Influence of Faculty on Marginalized Student Participation in High-Impact Practices

Abstract

As creators and facilitators of high-impact practices, understanding how faculty promote or inhibit student participation is integral in continuing to equitably promote their benefits. Data from the National Survey of Student Engagement (NSSE) paired with data from the Faculty Survey of Student Engagement (FSSE) show differences in faculty participation in high-impact practices, the importance faculty place on student participation, and how these factors impact student participation. We will share findings from 83 diverse institutions to start a conversation about the faculty labor associated with high-impact practices and ways to increase equity in student participation of high-impact practices.
