	Abstract

This study assesses community college faculty attitudes toward teaching African American students. A modified Teaching African American Students Survey was used to obtain community college faculty’s responses to 21 items pertaining to their willingness to teach African American students, their openness to using culture as a resource in the classroom, and their recognition of African Americans as a distinct cultural group. Results of this study revealed two significant findings. First, community college faculty were willing to teach African American students. Second, although the faculty indicated a willingness to teach African American students, they were not willing to utilize culture as a resource in the classroom.
