I found a WP ticket that says there’s currently an issue with meta_query and the ‘OR’ relation that I think is causing the issue – https://core.trac.wordpress.org/ticket/25538

As a temporary solution I’m instead filtering out all non ‘Faculty’ and ‘Staff’ members by using ‘NOT LIKE’ meta_query(s):

 'meta_query' => array(
        array(
            'key' 		=> 'profile_type',
            'value' 	=> 'Adjunct',
            'compare' 	=> 'NOT LIKE'
        ),
        array(
            'key' 		=> 'profile_type',
            'value' 	=> 'Emeriti',
            'compare' 	=> 'NOT LIKE'
        ),
        (etc...)
    )
