Abstract
Due to limited knowledge about faculty at community colleges, not much attention has been given to their job satisfaction and opinions. In particular, there is a gap in the literature relative to community college minority faculty's satisfaction in rural and urban areas. Thus, the purpose of this study was to explore minority faculty's satisfaction and opinions regarding faculty issues such as benefits, job satisfaction overall, and faculty workload. Descriptive statistics were used to analyze the data along with analysis of variance to determine if there are significant mean differences among the various geographical settings. The National Study of Postsecondary Faculty 1999 database was utilized for this study. The findings of this research revealed more similarities than differences between urban and rural minority community college faculty about their satisfaction and opinions.
