Abstract	In spite of the fact that the nation is becoming more ethnically diverse, community colleges are faced with a shortage of minority faculty and administrators. The number of minority students on community college campuses is increasing at a rapid pace: up 61.3% from 1986-1996. Nonetheless, in 1996, 89% of the nation's community college presidents, 87% of community college trustees, and 90% of faculty were white. This document asks how one can expect to increase the percentage of minority administrators without minority instructors. The authors briefly describe the efforts of a number of colleges to recruit and train minorities, including the following: (1) Schenectady County Community College, New York, created an intern program designed to increase faculty diversity; (2) Santa Monica Community College (SMCC), California, has developed a number of programs, including a transfer agreement with a number of historically black colleges that encourages African-American graduates to come to SMCC as professional employees; (3) City College of San Francisco (CCSF), California, established a Faculty/ Mentor Diversity Internship, which assists CCSF in preparing people to become community college administrators, instructors, counselors, and librarians; (4) The Borough of Manhattan Community College in New York developed a fellowship program aimed at recruiting minority teaching fellows.
