Public university provides faculty of color grant money to gain tenure

A Minority Recruitment and Retention Committee at Central Connecticut State University offers exclusive access to grant funding for a specific set of untenured and tenure-track faculty.

With the stated goal of retaining minority staff, the funds will only be allocated to faculty who “are members of minority and other protected groups,” states a copy of the grant announcement, a copy of which was provided to The College Fix.

Untenured scholars accepted for the program will receive funding “to support projects and activities from February 2023 through August 2023,” it states, adding it must be used for “projects that will provide direct support related to their retention.”
