Faced with declining enrollments and financial shortfalls, many colleges and universities have significantly cut back on hiring new faculty and staff. At some schools, a hiring freeze has been enacted. But in the wake of worldwide Black Lives Matter rallies and other social justice protests, the hiring of diversity and inclusion officers at colleges and universities remains at a brisk pace. Here is a group of African Americans who have recently been hired to administrative posts dealing with diversity, equity, and inclusion.

TiShaunda R. McPherson has been named associate vice president for equity at Northwestern University in Evanston, Illinois. McPherson has been serving as corporate counsel at Adtalem Global Education and previously served as its inaugural director of equity and access. Prior to joining Adtalem, she served as a senior civil rights attorney for the U.S. Department of Education. McPherson earned a bachelor’s degree from the University of Illinois and a juris doctorate from Northwestern University. She also holds a master’s of public policy degree from the University of Minnesota.
