Abstract

We examined how students from racial/ethnic and sexual minority groups perceived/experienced faculty support factors and the implications of this support for college adjustment. Minority students were less likely to experience important diversity-related factors than majority students. All students who experienced diversity-related faculty support factors had better college outcomes.
