This exploratory study sought to gain a better understanding of the nature and extent to which Black, Indigenous People of Color (BIPOC) faculty at community college institutions experience racial battle fatigue. This study examined the implications of racial battle fatigue on burnout and the retention of BIPOC faculty at community college institutions. Through examining literature, the research provided a historical overview of the social construct of race, racism and white supremacy, and how these constructs undergird racialized incidents (e.g., race-related stress, racial trauma, racial micro and macroaggressions, stereotype threat, race-lighting, racial discrimination) experienced or witnessed by BIPOC faculty. These racialized incidents contribute directly to the three predictors of racial battle fatigue (i.e., psychological, physiological, and behavioral response). This quantitative study allowed the researcher to quantify the degree to which BIPOC faculty experience racial battle fatigue; explore the relationship between racial battle fatigue and burnout; and identify if there is a correlation between racial battle fatigue, burnout, and the retention of BIPOC faculty. Using the Racial Battle Fatigue Scale, Oldenburg Burnout Inventory, and the Turnover Intent to Depart Scale, the researcher compiled approximately 500 self-identified BIPOC survey participants. The findings revealed burnout can be greatly attributable to the three predictors of racial battle fatigue for BIPOC faculty who experience racialized incidents. Additionally, BIPOC faculty who experience increase racial battle fatigue and burnout have a higher likelihood of departing from their institution. These findings can inform community college leaders of the implications of racial battle fatigue, while aiding in the creation of race-conscience policies and protocols to mitigate racialized incidents experienced by BIPOC faculty.
