Like this:

$roles = array('Director', 'Lead Teacher', 'Teacher', 'Assistant Teacher');
Also, roles could be populated from a taxonomy or from a custom post type.

Then:

$location = ''; // to be defined
$facultys = array();

foreach($roles as $role) {
	$posts = get_posts(array(
		'post_type’ => 'faculty’,
		'order’ => 'ASC’,
		'meta_query’ => array(
			array(
				'key’ => 'location’,
				'value’ => $location,
				'compare’ => 'LIKE’,
			),
			array(
				'key’=> 'role’,
				'value’ => $role,
				'compare’ => 'LIKE’,
			)
		)
	));

	// Merge the posts result with the existing facultys
	$facultys = array_merge($facultys, $posts);
}
