With seven cases drawn from both personal experience and informal interviews with colleagues from other research-intensive universities, we attempt to demonstrate the forms institutionalized discrimination and systemic oppression can take and if it is supported by policies or procedures encoded into an institution’s rules and regulations. We suggest heuristics for reexamining such procedures to more fully address such inherent biases. We proffer a qualitative methodological approach not only to explore the lived experiences of faculty of color but also to explore the latent as well as manifest meanings of these experiences for the faculty involved, which are frequently neither obvious nor transparent to both non-minority faculty and those responsible for carrying out institutional policies and regulations. Finally, we offer some criticisms of qualitative research in this arena to which organizational researchers must attend.

通过个人经验和与其他研究密集型大学同事的非正式访谈得出的七个案例，我们试图展示制度化歧视和系统性压迫可能采取的形式，以及是否得到机构规则和条例中编码的政策或程序的支持。我们建议使用启发式方法重新检查此类程序，以更全面地解决此类固有偏见。我们提供了一种定性的方法论方法，不仅可以探索色彩教师的生活经验，还可以探索潜在和明显的意义这些经验对于所涉及的教职员工来说，对于非少数教职员工和负责执行机构政策和法规的人来说，往往既不明显也不透明。最后，我们对组织研究人员必须参与的这个领域的定性研究提出一些批评。
