Black Women Employed in the Ivory Tower: Connecting for Success	2017	18	.pdf	application/pdf	8487	433	45	In examining the current status of Black women faculty, researchers contend that although gains have been made in the numbers of Black women working in higher education, they remain severely underrepresented and have not yet obtained the same participation levels as their White male and female counterparts (Gregory, 2001). Gregory (2001) noted the lack of opportunity that Black women have to reap the benefits of professional support networks while Phelps (1995) reported that Black faculty women considered it essential to “have access to others who could validate their experiences, welcome their input, and critique their work” (Gregory, 2001, p. 130).	cache/awl-271.pdf	txt/awl-271.txt
