Typically, within this society, Whites are the dominant group and experience certain privileges and inherent power that come with being White. This study investigates how White faculty at Hampton University, one of a handful of Historically Black Colleges and Universities (HBCUs), perceive their experiences teaching at an HBCU. Twenty-one self-identifying White instructors who occupy the role of a temporary minority at Hampton University were interviewed about their experiences. The purpose was to better understand how White faculty perceive their experiences as temporary minorities at HBCUs.
