Racial/Ethnic Faculty and Administrators 

ATS supports racial/ethnic faculty and administrators in theological schools and helps schools to enhance their capacity to meet the needs of diverse racial/ethnic communities in North America. ATS provides venues for gathering and supporting racial/ethnic faculty and administrators and facilitates mentoring networks among these constituents. It also helps schools develop greater capacity to educate students more effectively for ministry in multicultural contexts and realize the benefits of increasing racial/ethnic diversity in the schools.

Seminars

The Association is planning three annual seminars (in 2007, 2008, and 2009) on Building Multiracial Capacity in Predominantly White Theological Schools. The seminars will be designed to help predominantly white schools develop employment and educational practices that serve racial/ethnic constituents. The seminars will address topics such as developing strategies for hiring, retention, and promotion of racial/ethnic faculty; fostering a healthy campus climate for multicultural engagement; and addressing the particular needs of racial/ethnic students.

Committee on Race and Ethnicity (CORE)

The work of the ATS Committee on Race & Ethnicity in Theological Education (CORE) addresses both the concerns of racial/ethnic persons in theological education and institutional practices. The purpose of the committee includes meeting annually to plan programs for leadership development of racial/ethnic persons, as well as programs for their nurture and support; collecting data on the hiring, retention, and promotion of racial/ethnic persons at ATS schools; and emphasizing mentoring by and for racial/ethnic persons to ensure their retention and enhance their well-being.
