This collection includes material related to the Coalition of Black Faculty and Administrators (CBFA), a faculty organization at Old Dominion University. The objective of the organization is to promote the recruitment and retention, promotion and tenure, and greater involvement of African American faculty and administrators in college life. The coalition also works to provide networking opportunities and a forum for African American issues. Included in the collection are minutes and agendas, correspondence, both personal and professional, and financial reports of the organization. Newspaper clippings related to African American issues, reports on the progress of equal opportunity and affirmative action at Old Dominion University, elections for association officers, and newsletters produced by the CBFA are also present.
The collection is arranged into three series: I. Administrative Records; II. Public Relations; III. Reference Material.
The collection is open to researchers without restrictions.

This collection was processed by Greg Magier, SCUA volunteer, from November to December 2015.
In 1985, an ad hoc group of black faculty and administrators met with former Old Dominion University president Joseph Marchello to voice concerns about the recruitment and retention of African American faculty administrators and students. Subsequent to that meeting, over the next several years, a small group of African American faculty and administrators met to develop a strategy and propose a structure and by-laws for a coalition or caucus designed to provide moral and sound support and advocate for African American faculty and administrators. All African American faculty and administrators were invited to an organizational meeting in the fall of 1989, which marked the official beginning of the Coalition of Black Faculty and Administrators.
