Abstract
While there has been an emphasis within the Hispanic Serving Institution (HSI) literature on decentralizing university governance to allow for antiracist decision-making, there has been less focus on the lack of inclusive representation within faculty governance, particularly for historically excluded groups. Guided by testimonio as methodology and examples from our lived experiences within one small Catholic HSI, we offered five tenets of a decolonized faculty governance structure that democratizes faculty participation in decision-making at HSIs. - Ha habido un énfasis en la literatura sobre la descentralización en el gobierno universitario para permitir decisiones anti-racistas en instituciones de servicio a hispanos (HSI); sin embargo, ha habido menos enfoque en la falta de representación inclusiva de los profesores en su gobierno, particularmente de grupos históricamente excluidos. Guiados por testimonio como metodología y ejemplos de nuestras experiencias vividas en una HSI católica pequeña, ofrecimos cinco principios hacia una estructura de gobierno descolonizado de profesores que democratiza su participación en el proceso de la toma de decisiones en HSIs.
