This study ascertained historically Black colleges and universities (HBCU) academic leaders' perceptions of equity between HBCU and predominantly White institutions (PWI) health professions school partnerships related to resource capacity, sustainability and scholarship. A focus group was conducted with seven HBCU health professions schools. A survey was sent to their PWI (n=14) partners. Four themes including positive and negative experiences, challenges, and recommendations to continue relationships with the PWIs were identified. Dissemination of the survey to PWIs resulted in no responses. Benefits of the partnerships include increased HBCU publications and PWI efforts to embrace HBCU students. Inequities in the distribution of social resources and of social justice include the fickle nature of partnership, little interest among PWIs in promoting HBCU expansion and independence, a lack of transparency and clarity in communications, and PWI claims of ownership for ideas proposed by the HBCU. Dual institutional appointments were also identified as problematic.
本研究确定了历史上的黑人学院和大学(HBCU)学术领袖对HBCU与以白人为主的机构(PWI)在健康职业学校伙伴关系中资源能力、可持续性和学术方面公平性的看法。对七所HBCU健康职业学校进行了焦点小组访谈。向它们的PWI(n = 14)合作伙伴发送了一份调查问卷。确定了四个主题,包括积极和消极经历、挑战以及与PWI继续保持关系的建议。向PWI发放调查问卷未得到回复。伙伴关系的益处包括HBCU出版物增加以及PWI接纳HBCU学生的努力。社会资源分配和社会正义方面的不公平包括伙伴关系的多变性、PWI对促进HBCU扩张和独立兴趣不大、沟通缺乏透明度和清晰度,以及PWI对HBCU提出的想法主张所有权。双重机构任命也被认为存在问题。
