Book Description
"I feel like they act like they're so diverse and multicultural.This is not a representation of how it is for people who go here.""I know of several occasions, if it weren't for several faculty of color, I don't know how I would have made it from one day to the next." -- from student interviewsHave three decades of integration and multicultural initiatives in higher education delivered a better education to all students? Are majority and minority students reaping similar benefits, specifically in predominantly white colleges? Do we know what a multicultural campus should look like, and how to design one that is welcoming to all students and promotes a learning environment?Through a unique qualitative study involving seven colleges and universities considered national models of commitment to diversity, this book presents the views and voices of minority students on what has been achieved and what remains to be done. The direct quotations that form the core of this book give voice to Black, Hispanic, Asian, Native American and bi-racial students. They offer in their own words their perceptions of their campus cultures and practices, the tensions they encounter and what works for them.Rather than elaborating or recommending specific models or solutions, this book aims to provide insights that will enable the reader better to understand and articulate the issues that need to be addressed to achieve a well-adapted multicultural campus.Presidents, academic affairs professionals, student affairs personnel and faculty concerned with equity and diversity will find this book helpful and enlightening.
An Analysis of Minority Student's Perceptions of the Campus Climate and Sense of Belonging

Pages : 157
Book Description
Higher education institutions across the nation enroll a uniquely diverse student body that possesses different perceptions of the campus environment. It can be expected that African Americans, Asian, Latino/a, and White students have differing perspectives regarding campus climate and culture based on their distinctive background, cultural values, and experiences. Therefore, it is becoming increasingly important for colleges to understand and respond to the concerns and needs of an increasingly diverse student body in order to develop appropriate and culturally responsive programs that will ensure their success. This Executive Position Paper examines Delaware Technical Community College minority students’ perceptions of the campus climate and their sense of belonging, as well as their motivation to achieve their academic goals. The study examines best practices and models of inclusive college environments at various higher education institutions. As a result, the research study provides recommendations for creating a campus environment of involvement, respect, and engagement.

Community Colleges as Cultural Texts
Author: Kathleen M. ShawPublisher: State University of New York Press
ISBN: 1438419732
Category : Education
Languages : en
Pages : 232
Book Description
Community colleges are positioned to play a critical role in the process of upward mobility in American society. Yet despite the "open door" accessibility of these institutions, the question remains as to whether or not community colleges enhance the social mobility of working class and minority students. The contradictory and often paradoxical nature of research on community colleges suggests that making generalizations about the sector as a whole is perhaps misguided. This book takes an important step toward developing a more nuanced understanding of the rich and varied cultures inherent in community colleges. The contributors approach this task by examining community colleges as "cultural texts," using critical qualitative frameworks to address the question of whether, and how, community colleges confront the challenges of diversity and provide real opportunities for upward mobility.

Valadez, and Bill Van Buskirk.]
