美国各地大学的种族冲突一直是学术界和媒体关注的焦点，但管理人员和教师往往不了解问题或不知道如何解决问题。从心理科学的许多分支，本文介绍了如何压迫的学术氛围的结果，为学生和教师的颜色，如心理困扰，不满，歧视诉讼，教师流动和学生辍学的负面结果。描述了一些辅助支持的行动部门可以采用改善种族气氛，从而促进种族愈合和多样性，包括论坛，以促进有关不平等的对话，经验的多样性培训，环境microaggressions的删除，招聘和保留少数民族教师和顾问，修复有偏见的课程，并解决偏见的教学评价。还提出了一项行动呼吁，要求行政人员更好地接受那些因不利气候而遭受痛苦的人，在必要时对种族主义作出反应，并在更大范围内采取行动，重点是心理学家的作用。
Racial conflict at universities across the US has been the focus of academic concern and media attention, yet often administrators and faculty do not understand the problems or know how to approach solutions. Drawing from many branches of psychological science, this paper describes how an oppressive academic climate results in negative outcomes for students and faculty of color, such as psychological distress, grievances, discrimination lawsuits, faculty turnover, and student dropout. Described are some empirically-supported actions departments can employ to improve the racial climate and thereby promote racial healing and diversity, including forums to facilitate conversations about inequity, experiential diversity trainings, removal of environmental microaggressions, recruitment and retention of minority faculty and advisors, repairing biased curricula, and addressing bias in teaching evaluations. Also advanced is a call to action for administrators to improve receptivity to those suffering as a result of an adverse climate, responding to racism when needed, and taking action on a larger scale, with an emphasis on the role of psychologists.
