Significance of the Issue
• Statistical projections suggest that the number of racial/ethnic minorities will increase greatly in the coming years
• It is essential that steps are taken to make the representation of races/ethnicities in doctoral programs more proportionate to national numbers

WHAT CAN iSCHOOLS DO?
Consider the Virtuous Circle!

The Virtuous Circle
![Page 11: Defining the Virtuous Circle: Discussing the Need to Increase iSchool Doctoral Student Diversity Dr. Renee E. Franklin, Syracuse University & Dr. Paul](https://reader035.vdocument.in/reader035/viewer/2022070605/5a4d1acb7f8b9ab05996f75f/html5/thumbnails/11.jpg)
![Page 12: Defining the Virtuous Circle: Discussing the Need to Increase iSchool Doctoral Student Diversity Dr. Renee E. Franklin, Syracuse University & Dr. Paul](https://reader035.vdocument.in/reader035/viewer/2022070605/5a4d1acb7f8b9ab05996f75f/html5/thumbnails/12.jpg)
Implications for the Future of Doctoral Education
STUDENTS• Increased population of diverse iSchool
students– Heightened awareness of factors that affect
African Americans’ & Latinos’ (and other ethnic groups’) decision to pursue doctoral studies
– New & improved recruitment & retention methods/tools
![Page 13: Defining the Virtuous Circle: Discussing the Need to Increase iSchool Doctoral Student Diversity Dr. Renee E. Franklin, Syracuse University & Dr. Paul](https://reader035.vdocument.in/reader035/viewer/2022070605/5a4d1acb7f8b9ab05996f75f/html5/thumbnails/13.jpg)
Implications Continued
iSCHOOLS• Creation of a larger, more diverse pool of potential
faculty– Inclusion of diverse research ideas & perspectives– Insights to share with other fields– Role models whose presence encourages interest
from diverse students
![Page 14: Defining the Virtuous Circle: Discussing the Need to Increase iSchool Doctoral Student Diversity Dr. Renee E. Franklin, Syracuse University & Dr. Paul](https://reader035.vdocument.in/reader035/viewer/2022070605/5a4d1acb7f8b9ab05996f75f/html5/thumbnails/14.jpg)
Implications Continued
UNIVERSITIES• Colleges/universities with higher diversity
increasingly highly regarded
![Page 15: Defining the Virtuous Circle: Discussing the Need to Increase iSchool Doctoral Student Diversity Dr. Renee E. Franklin, Syracuse University & Dr. Paul](https://reader035.vdocument.in/reader035/viewer/2022070605/5a4d1acb7f8b9ab05996f75f/html5/thumbnails/15.jpg)
Implications Continued
iWORKFORCE• Creation of a more diverse and culturally
aware information workforce– More opportunities for ethnically diverse
employers and employees– Corporations that encourage diversity often are
highly successful

Implications continued
…and Beyond• Increased acceptance of and opportunities for
other “underrepresented” groups– Individuals with disabilities– Individuals who identify as LGBT– Individuals who are socioeconomically
disadvantaged
