I prefer this wording.

It is a combination of the proportion of architects who are Black and discrimination (based on outcome and practice even if it isn't their formal intent). Colleges and universities with faculty diversity initiatives know exactly what to do if they want more female, Black (and other racial and ethnic minority--that includes HBCUs that are increasing their nonBlack faculty and staff), and/or bilingual faculty.
