Guided by Critical Race Theory in Education (CRT-E), his study draws on in-depth interviews with eight current and former administrators, revealing themes such as inequitable hiring practices, limited leadership pipelines, cultural and interpersonal challenges, and overperformance pressures. The findings also highlight strategies for institutions to create equitable hiring pathways, provide robust leadership preparation, and foster inclusive campus cultures.
