JULIAN BOND TO MODERATE TELECONFERENCE ON HIRING FACULTY OF COLOR

	University of Virginia civil rights historian Julian Bond
will moderate an October 12 video conference on how higher education
institutions can hire and retain faculty of color.  "Creative Ways
of Finding and Keeping Faculty and Administrators of Color" will be
shown from 1 to 3 p.m. in U.Va.'s Newcomb Hall Theater.

	Organized by Cox, Matthews and Associates, Inc., publishers
of the periodical Black Issues in Higher Education, the conference
will have panelists addressing the effects of salary, tenure,
research and promotional opportunities for faculty and
administrators of color.  

	Panelists will also describe how faculty and administrators
perceive their role and status on campus, detail the impact of
locale and demographics on faculty of color and discuss if
mainstream institutions are raiding faculty from black colleges.

	Among the panelists are Stephen Joel Trachtenbert, president
of George Washington University; Deborah J. Carter, assistant
director, Office of Minorities in Higher Education, American Council
on Education; and Robert A. Corrigan, president of San Francisco
State University.

	"Over the years college and universities have tried to
locate and keep faculty of color by adhering to the many do's and
don'ts of a minority recruitment effort.  The video conference will
provide a comprehensive and candid examination of what has worked,
what hasn't and why," said Ralph L. Newell, telecommunications
coordinator at Cox, Matthews and Associates.

	For more information on the event, which is free and open to
the public, contact John Garland, executive assistant to the
president and interim director of the Equal Opportunity/Affirmative
Action Office at U.Va., at (804) 924-3200.
