Processing Information
This collection was processed by Greg Magier, SCUA volunteer, from November to December 2015.
Biographical or Historical Information
In 1985, an ad hoc group of black faculty and administrators met with former Old Dominion University president Joseph Marchello to voice concerns about the recruitment and retention of African American faculty administrators and students. Subsequent to that meeting, over the next several years, a small group of African American faculty and administrators met to develop a strategy and propose a structure and by-laws for a coalition or caucus designed to provide moral and sound support and advocate for African American faculty and administrators. All African American faculty and administrators were invited to an organizational meeting in the fall of 1989, which marked the official beginning of the Coalition of Black Faculty and Administrators.
