Introduction
This annotated bibliography is a work in progress designed to become a key resource for
the coalescing community of scholars who are invested in research and practice that
centers on the potential value of higher education to society.
The purpose of this project is to develop and implement a framework for organizing
many of the foregoing books, articles, presentations, policy documents and other
intellectual goods that represent the most compelling thought and activity surrounding
these issues in a way that will be useful to members of this community in their
undertakings. We believe that it can be considered “useful” when scholars, in a variety of
fields, regard it as an important resource to consult when seeking to identify scholarship
that will lead to greater depth of insight on foundational theoretical perspectives as well
as best practices and well developed policy and position statements related to the impact
and value of higher education to the amelioration of our society.

Brodie, L. F. (2001). Breaking out: VMI and the coming of women (1st Vintage Books
ed.). New York: Vintage Books.
On July 26, 1996, the United States Supreme Court nullified the single-sex admissions
policy of the Virginia Military Institute, the last all-male military college in America.
Capturing the voices of female and male cadets, administrators, faculty, and alumni,
Laura Brodie tells the story of the Institute's intense planning for the inclusion of women
and the problems and triumphs of the first year of coeducation. Brodie takes the reader
into the meetings where every aspect of life at VMI was analyzed from the perspective of
a woman's presence: housing, clothing, haircuts, dating, and the infamous "Ratline"--the
months of physical exertion, minimal sleep, and verbal harassment to which entering
cadets are subjected. Throughout the process the administration's aim was to integrate
women successfully without making adjustments to VMI's physical standards or giving
up its tradition of education under extreme stress. Brodie's lively and inspiring account
makes it clear that VMI's story is an important and timely one of institutional
transformation.
Brooks, A., & Mackinnon, A. (Eds.). (2001). Gender and the restructured university:
changing management and culture in higher education. Philadelphia, Pa: Open
University.
Gender and the Restructured University explores the impact of globalization and
organizational change on academic institutions and their staff. It considers the
restructuring of universities as part of a broader process of reconstructing academic
identities for the global knowledge economy. It considers the corporatization of academic
life and its particular implications for academic women. Finally, it looks closely at how
women managers now handle the management of change within their own institutions
against the backdrop of the past decade's globalization and restructuring of academia.
Most of the book is written in the style of a history - that is, in reporting factual events.
So, for example, we learn that more than 190 colleges (30% of all established for women
in the U.S.) were founded by Catholic Sisters in response to women's need for higher
learning which would have been otherwise inaccessible to them. As of 1997, 29 of those
colleges had been founded by Sisters of Mercy. Profiles of 19 of these colleges today
reveal a mosaic of diverse beginnings, strengths and programs. The chapter on Sisters
who work at non-Mercy campuses includes their comments on compatibility with the
Sisters of Mercy mission, especially the opportunity to serve women and culturally
diverse persons, and to put students directly in touch with persons who are poor and
marginalized. Dr. Daigler chronicles early collaboration among Mercy-sponsored
colleges, from the 1952 appointment of Sister Mary Xavier Higgins (Baltimore) as chair
of a new Mercy Education Conference to the establishment in 1974 of the Mercy Higher
Education Colloquium.
Gmelch, S. (1998). Gender on campus: issues for college women. New Brunswick, N.J:
Rutgers University Press.
Where adolescents and young adults are looking for a solid, wide-ranging introduction to
gender issues, Gmelch's survey may be a useful acquisition. Although its focus is the
college campus, cultural anthropologist Gmelch, head of the women's studies program at
Union College, takes a straightforward, practical approach that may be helpful in other
contexts as well. Gmelch incorporates discussions of race, class, disability, sexual
identity, body image, violence, and substance abuse in brief but focused chapters on
gender issues; and she includes material on language and gender, opportunities for
women in sports, and treatment of women in the media, the workplace in general, and
politics.

This book examines the dynamics of knowledge creation in a case study of feminist
scholarship. This analysis of the career histories and intellectual biographies of academic
women from the 1960s to the 1980s reveals how historically specific conditions enabled
some of them to establish intellectual space for feminist scholarship in the disciplines
and, more broadly, in the academy.
Ibarra introduces a theory of "multicontextuality," which proposes that many people learn
better when teachers emphasize whole systems of knowledge and that education can
create its greatest successes by offering and accepting many approaches to teaching and
learning. This revolutionary paradigm also addresses why current thinking about
academic systems and organizational culture, affirmative action, and diversity must be
revised. Ibarra bases his groundbreaking proposals upon his own synthesis of findings
from anthropological, educational, and psychological studies of how people from various
cultures learn, as well as findings from extended interviews he conducted with Latinos
and Latinas who pursued graduate degrees and then either became university faculty or
chose other careers. From his perspectives as a practicing anthropologist, teacher,
researcher, and administrator, Ibarra provides a blueprint for change that will interest: o
Administrators developing campus strategic plans o Boards, commissions, and agencies
making policy for educational institutions o Students and faculty struggling to find ways
that academia can serve multiple constituencies o Academic and career advisors to
students o Researchers in cognitive psychology, sociology, anthropology, education, and
ethnic studies o Businesses rethinking their organizational cultures and strategies
This volume presents the personal accounts of African American, Asian American, and
Latino faculty who describe in their narratives of struggles" the challenges they faced in
order to become bona fide members of the United States Academy. These narratives
show how survival and success require a sophisticated knowledge of the politics of
academia, insider knowledge of the requirements of legitimacy in scholarly efforts, and
resourceful approach to facing dilemmas between cultural values, traditional racist
practices, and academic resilience. The book also explores the empowerment process of
these individuals who have created a new self without rejecting their "enduring" self; the
self strongly connected to their ethno/racial cultures and groups. Within the process of
self -redefinition, this new faculty confronted racism, sexism, rejection, the clash of
cultural values, and structural indifference to cultural diversity. The faculty recounts how
they ultimately learned the skillful accommodation to all of these issues. It is through the
analysis of survival and self-definition that faculty of color and women will establish a
powerful foothold in the new academy of the twenty-first century."

America faces a serious challenge: the looming surge in Latino college enrollment.
Latinos are now the largest minority in the United States, accounting for 12 percent of the
population. Yet their presence is scarce in higher education, just 1.7 percent of first-time,
full-time students in American public universities in 1998 are Latino. Because of the
evolving demographics, Latinos will make up an increasingly greater percentage of
prospective and potential applicants to higher education programs. Will postsecondary
institutions be ready for this wave? Can the community colleges accommodate it, and if
not, what steps should four-year institutions take? And how can Latinos themselves
increase their presence in higher education? Ultimately, it is not enough for Latinos to
attend the colleges. They must also become part of the colleges. Will distance learning
boost their enrollment in graduate programs?

academe: strangers in the tower? New York: Modern Language Association.
The American civil rights movement of the 1960s and affirmative action programs of the
70s held promise for people of color and those in American higher education: eleven
essays consider the status of these groups in the 20th century and beyond, describing
individual minority and female experiences in academe. A range of professionals
contribute their experiences and insights on obstacles in this revealing coverage.

Lindsay, B., & Justiz, M. J. (Eds.). (2001). The quest for equity in higher education:
toward new paradigms in an evolving affirmative action era. Albany: State
University of New York Press.
Investigating the role of equity, diversity, and affirmative action in colleges and
universities in the United States, this book critically examines the issues in light of public
debates, voter referenda, and legislative enactments seeking to influence public policy.
The contributors argue that providing information and critical skills to students and
scholars, preparing students for the world of work (especially in a rapidly changing
technological environment), and generating new research and knowledge bases are
missions of higher education that can be enhanced with affirmative action as a form of
equity.
Issues of diversity and affirmative action have turned elite higher education in the United
States into contested terrain. Rights revolutions in the country have raised hopes that have
proved difficult to fulfill. Most particularly, expectations about access and opportunity--
redressing the unfairness of the past--have collided with widely held beliefs: that
educational institutions should treat each person fairly as an individual and should
promote high academic standards. Promise and Dilemma gathers the reflections of a
group of leading educators on whether and how objectives of diversity, equity, and
excellence can be simultaneously pursued. Empirical in orientation, these essays focus on
constructive proposals and on the role of social and political consensus. Furthermore,
they contrast what we believe we know with what empirical data and institutional
experience can teach us.
Eugene Lowe's substantive introduction reviews the history of the practice of affirmative
action in colleges and universities. The other essays are by L. Scott Miller of The College
Board; Mamphela Ramphele, vice chancellor of the University of Cape Town; Neil J.
Smelser of the Center for Advanced Study in the Behavioral Sciences, Stanford; and
Claude M. Steele of Stanford University. Also included are commentaries by Randall
Kennedy, Harvard Law School; Richard J. Light, Harvard Law School; Chang Lin Tien,
the University of California, Berkeley; and Philip Uri Treisman, the University of Texas.
Mabokela, R. O., & Green, A. L. (Eds.). (2001). Sisters of the academy: emergent Black
women scholars in higher education (1st ed.). Sterling, Va: Stylus Pub.
The fifteen scholars who contribute to this volume trace the trajectory of Black women in
education, with a particular focus on higher education. These scholars combine research
and personal narratives to explore educational issues ranging from historical accounts of
Black female teachers in the nineteenth century, to challenges and triumphs of being an
activist researcher at the turn of the twenty-first century. The essays in this volume
address specific historical, social, cultural, political, and academic issues that affect Black
women in the academy, and provide readers with tangible examples of how these
scholars have transcended some of the challenges in their pursuit of excellence. While
these essays do not claim to provide the "magic solution" or a "how-to-guide" to success
un higher education, they do raise thought-provoking issues that are critical to the success
of Black women in higher education.

This book assesses the most significant developments in the conditions and experiences
of Chicanas and Chicanos since the late 1970s. Ten essays by leading Chicano and
Chicana scholars on economic, social, educational, and political trends examine such
issues as the rapid population growth of Latinos, the turn to the right in American
politics, the rise of anti-immigrant sentiment, the launching of new initiatives by the
Mexican government toward the Chicano community, continuing struggles related to
educational equity and bilingual education, feminism, and the emergence of a new
generation of political activists.
This book addresses the interlocking systems of race and gender in institutions of higher
education in America. The study is based on empirical data from African American
women of various disciplines in faculty and administrative positions at traditionally white
colleges and universities. It focuses primarily on narratives of the women in terms of how
they are affected by racism, as well as sexism as they perform their duties in their
academic environments. The findings suggest that a common thread exists relative to the
experiences of the women. The book challenges and dispels the myth that Black progress
has led to equality for African American women in the academy.
Orfield, G., & Miller, E. (Eds.). (1999). Chilling Admissions: The Affirmative Action
Crisis and the Search for Alternatives.
The nine essays in this volume represent the most recent and best-informed work of the
leading scholars of affirmative action in higher education. They include detailed reports
and analyses from the front lines in California and Texas, where a state referendum and
two U.S. appeals courts have forced universities to radically redesign their admissions
policies. Together, these essays place the current crisis on campus in its larger context of
historical discrimination and the legal battle for educational equity. At the same time,
they raise troubling issues of race, testing, and the definition of "merit" in college and
professional school admissions practices.
Padilla, R. V., & Montiel, M. (1998). Debatable diversity: critical dialogues on change
in American universities. Lanham, Md: Rowman and Littlefield Publishers.
This book provokes the reader to examine the purpose and role of the contemporary
university as bureaucratic, corporate, and diversified. Written as a series of conversations
between the authors, two Chicano scholars at a western university, "Debatable Diversity"
chronicles their own experiences as academic activists who struggled for decades to
transform an American university system based more on entrepreneurship and the
business model than on a dedication to the ideals set forth by a social awareness and
support for civil rights that came out of the 1960s and early 1970s, a time when hope and
faith in social change permeated college campuses. This work poses a challenge for all of
those interested in transforming the university into a place that reflects the realities of the
American cultural landscape, including growing minority populations, the challenge of
maintaining a sense of humanity in the face of the information age, socioeconomic and
class inequality, and the growing presence of minorities on campus.

Parker, L., Deyhle, D., & Villenas, S. A. (Eds.). (1999). Race is-- race isn't: critical race
theory and qualitative studies in education. Boulder, Colo: Westview Press.
Race Is ... Race Isn't presents a group of qualitative research studies, literature reviews,
and commentaries that collectively articulate critical race theory in secondary and post-
secondary educational settings. The field of critical race theory has garnered increasingly
more attention as an emerging perspective on race, the law, and policy. Critical race
theory examines the social construction of the law, administrative policy, electoral
politics, and political discourse in the U.S. The editors explore links and conflicts with
other areas of difference, including language, ethnicity, gender, and sexual orientation,
with the goal of opening a dialogue about how critical race theory can be incorporated
into education research methodologies.
Wenniger, M. D., & Conroy, M. H. (Eds.). (2001). Gender equity or bust!: on the road to
campus leadership with women in higher education (1st ed.). San Francisco:
Jossey-Bass Publishers.
For eight years, Women in Higher Education has reported women's strategic advances in
the academy with regard to the gender battles that still rage on most college and
university campuses today. Its goal is to enlighten, encourage, empower, and enrage
women administrators, faculty, and students in higher education. This book is a
compendium of lively, hard-hitting articles from the successful newsletter. Its thematic
sections blend serious commentary, research results, and practical advice with wry
humor. Readers will find a broad view of recent progress as well as effective strategies
from women who have changed the academy. Topics include women's leadership and
management styles and strategies, valuing the self, sex and sexuality, playing politics,
and much more. Filled with wisdom drawn from real-world experience, Gender Equity or
Bust! illuminates what women can do to transform the culture of higher education into
one that honors their values and contributions.
The 17 papers in this volume are products of a study group on the education of African
Americans that was part of a national project, "The Assessment of the Status of African-
Americans." The volume takes a comprehensive look at the education of African
Americans, specifically early childhood through postsecondary education, and relevant
public policy issues since 1940. The focus is on the known status of African American
education and the factors that must be considered to develop educational strategies,
evaluate programs, and improve policy

change, health status and medical care, and the family. Six volumes resulted from the
study. This volume, the third, considers education, ranging from early childhood through
postsecondary education.

Selected Annotations
Balls Organista, P., Chun, K. M., & Marin, G. (2000). Teaching an Undergraduate
Course on Ethnic Diversity. Teaching of Psychology, 27(1), 12-17.
In this article, we describe a course, the Psychology of Ethnic Groups in the United
States, to illustrate possible issues to address within an ethnic diversity psychology
course. The purpose of this course is to educate, sensitize, and stimulate critical thinking
about the role of culture and ethnicity in human social behavior with an emphasis on 4
major ethnic groups in the United States: African Americans, American Indians, Asian
Americans, and Hispanics-Latinos. Basic concepts in ethnic psychology examined
include the significance of race and ethnicity, racism and stereotyping, ethnic
stratification, ethnic identity, acculturation, and biculturalism as well as a variety of
psychosocial conditions (e.g., risk behaviors, adaptive health behaviors). Included are
descriptions of in-class exercises, readings, and strategies that are helpful in teaching this
type of course.

This article provides an analysis of gender patterns in science and engineering degrees
and employment suggests that little progress has been made toward gender equity,
despite efforts to promote change. It is suggested that, although women have become
more comfortable with their image as scientists, they have not adjusted to the reality of
work within these disciplines.

A request for a gender pay equity review on one campus grew to encompass a study of
the salaries of all faculty members, including minorities. Not only did the survey heighten
awareness of pay equity issues in general, but resulted in pay adjustments for many
faculty and offered useful insights for other institutions considering such reviews
Data from the U.S. Department of Education demonstrate that segregation of American
Indians in institutions of higher education is greater in states where there are American
Indian tribal colleges. Many such institutions are poorly funded two-year colleges. To
improve education for American Indians, these colleges need more support.

This research examines questions of equal access with respect to enrollment patterns of
minority students in institutions of higher education. Results from 13 states reveal that a
“racially stratified” educational system persists, and that Blacks and Hispanics hold a
disproportionate share in two-year institutions rather than in the four-year and research-
intensive institutions.

This article describes a college counselor's efforts to reason with a student singing a Guns
and Roses' song vilifying African Americans and homosexuals. Many individuals lack
the historical knowledge, concern, or empathy to appreciate the destructive power of such
lyrics. First Amendment rights are threatened by the academic community's silent assent
to bigotry.

This research compares the sense of mattering and attitudes of marginality of 324 African
American and 805 non-African American students at predominantly White colleges.
Considerable differences were found, especially with regard to environmental factors.
Results support the contention that many rules and regulations on campuses are not
sensitive to African Americans.
Argues that the excellence-in-education movement has dealt a heavy blow to the
advancement of Hispanics seeking degrees in higher education. Attempting to reform
education while ignoring concerns of minorities who traditionally have not fared well in
schools suggests that reformers expect the benefits of reform to trickle down to minorities
after first benefiting mainstream students. The result is that reform measures such as the
raising of college admission standards, the restructuring of financial aid, curriculum
changes, and competency tests for teachers have added additional hurdles for Hispanic
students, placing greater restrictions on their access to higher education.
Reconceptualizing the definition of excellence to include not only higher standards but
educational equity is a demographic imperative as the nation moves to a "minority
majority."
Asa Hilliard, an African-American educator, stresses the following points: (1) the
African-American cultural style tends to be more improvised, wholistic, and person-
oriented than the European style; (2) teachers can be more democratic and equitable by
recognizing cultural differences; (3) intelligence tests tend to hurt African Americans;
and (4) teacher competency tests are unrelated to classroom performance.

The author used longitudinal data on 405 African-American and 95 Chicano students
attending graduate school in the 1970s to test a model reflecting the influence of parental
SES, gender, precollege assessments, and the graduate school's racial climate on
academic self-concept. The study establishes that early influences and the components of
academic self-concept change as students move into adulthood. Minority females
consistently lag behind males in views of their academic self-concept. Higher academic
self-concept was reported in graduate racial climates characterized by low trust and
interaction among groups. These findings raise important questions regarding the
development of academic self-concept among minorities in graduate school.

Jones, M., Yonezawa, S., & Ballesteros, E. (2002). Shaping pathways to higher
education. Educational Researcher, 31, 3-11.
This article describes the efforts at the University of California, San Diego to increase
campus diversity by developing collaborative school-university partnerships with 18
local elementary and secondary schools in low-income, urban communities. Education
research on school reform and sociology of education are drawn from to help examine the
process of developing partnerships. This research provides a theoretical lens to study how
multiple contexts (e.g., schools, districts, and the university) shape partnership work and
the extent to which partnerships succeed in increasing the pool of underrepresented
students eligible for the university. Data from field notes, formal and informal interviews,
documents, and videotaped presentations and student focus groups are discussed. This
approach goes beyond traditional outreach and focuses more broadly on facilitating
equity-minded school reform through collaborative school-university partnerships. The
data shows that a collaborative partnership model can increase college-going outcomes
for underrepresented students and promote equitable change in school structures and
climate.

Analysis of data from the National Longitudinal Study High School Class of 1972 found
that having a two-year college education culminating in a degree or certificate (as
compared to entering the labor market with no postsecondary education) improved
individuals’ occupational outcomes (income and/or job status), but left patterns of
inequality between groups (males/females, blacks/whites, high/low socioeconomic
status).

Perna, L. W. (2001). Sex and Race Differences in Faculty Tenure and Promotion.
Research in Higher Education, 42(5), 541-567.
Data from the 1993 National Study of Postsecondary Faculty are used to explore sources
of the lower representation of women and minorities among tenured than tenure track
faculty and among full professors than lower ranking faculty. A 2-step approach is used.
First, differences in the probability of being tenured rather than on a tenure track are
explored. Then, differences in the probability of holding the rank of full professor among
faculty who are tenured are examined. Logistic regression analyses are used to isolate the
effects of sex and race on the dependent variables after controlling for human capital,
productivity, and structural characteristics. For both tenure and promotion to full
professor, separate analyses are conducted for women and men in order to explore sex
differences in the tenure and promotion processes. All analyses are conducted separately
for full-time faculty working at public 2-year institutions and full-time faculty working at
4-year institutions.

Recent litigation charges that the state of Texas has not served Mexican Americans or
African Americans equitably throughout the state and has failed to invest equitably in
border colleges, perpetuating discrimination against Mexican Americans. Graduate
programs are demanded in border institutions.
This article discusses cultural dynamics shaping relationships between universities and
urban black communities, arguing that universities are responsible for addressing inner-
city problems. However, cultural differences impede social relationships between
colleges and urban communities. The authors construct a framework for exploring
impeding factors. This research links the renewed American discourse on civility to the
public service mission of higher education and its relevance to urban communities.

Wagner, L. (1998). Dearing is Dead - Blunkett is Born? The Future Funding of Higher
Education. Higher Education Quarterly, 52(1), 64.
The Dearing Report's most substantial and rigorous piece of work on funding has been
rendered irrelevant by the government's decision to adopt a different approach which
Dearing had not considered. Much time, effort and money could have been saved if the
government had made its objectives clear before the Report was finalized rather than on
the day it was published. Yet the Dearing chapters on funding are not wasted because
they provide the case for a student contribution to tuition costs on the grounds of equity.
These arguments are examined and supported in the paper. The Report is criticized for
missing the opportunity to argue for credit-based funding in relation to both the public
and student contributions. The reasons for the government preferring its particular mix of
means-tested fee and loan instead of means-tested maintenance grant are explained in
terms of its political objectives. The effect of the government's proposals is that no
student or parent pays more now for higher education than under existing arrangements.
The extra private costs are incurred by graduates in repaying their additional loans out of
their future income. Finally, the misplaced emphasis on dealing with the full-time student
funding problem led the Committee to give insufficient attention to other students. The
adoption of a genuine lifelong learning model of higher education might have generated
more relevant proposals not only on funding but elsewhere.
What is argued in this article is that the rising tide of 'efficiency' in contemporary
education often masks a reduction in both the quality of education provided and attempts
to reduce levels of resources invested in education, particularly in the public sector.
Historical and comparative examples of reform movements in education in the US, UK
and Australia, the methodology of comparative education and the ongoing reforms in
higher education in both the UK and Australia reveal that arguments about efficiency, not
least in the current era of worldwide economic stringency, often consist of little more
than arguments about economics. In particular, efficiency movements can be argued to be
predicated upon the idea that both individual worth and the worth of education can be
reduced to economic terms. Equally, individuals and societies are also seen as rational, in
so far as they invest in education only to the extent that education delivers a better
economic rate of return than other forms of investment.
This article examines how schooling experiences related to minority students' views
about teaching careers, focusing on the African American teacher shortage. Interviews
with diverse college freshmen indicated that most would not pursue teaching careers for
three reasons: not having patience for teaching, classroom behavior problems, and low
salaries. Those who chose teaching as a career emphasized the importance of positive
role models.

This dissertation research addressed the issue of Latino adult participation in higher
education because the Latino/Latina adult students represent one of the types of the non-
traditional students in college given their different linguistic and cultural base and
because their ethnicity, language and gender shape a social context for their particular
academic experience at institutions of higher learning.

During the 1980-81 academic year there were twenty-two Native American students at
Harvard and Radcliffe Colleges. Nineteen of whom elected to participate in this study.
They represented approximately .0035% of the entire enrollment. With five seniors
graduating during the Spring of 1981 and six new freshmen matriculating in the Fall of
1981, this figure will remain virtually unchanged. This analytic paper is an analysis of the
impact of the college experience upon Native American students at Harvard and
Radcliffe. Literature addressing the adaptation of Native Americans to higher education
is generally lacking, therefore, this analytic paper is intended to not only meet that need
in part, but also produce a body of knowledge upon which similar studies may be built.
The purpose of this study was to address the question of what leadership behaviors
influence the roles of selected tribal college presidents; and specifically, what self-
perceptions or personal beliefs they hold, that contribute to that influence. The study
employed a stratified random sample and a modified case study approach was taken. The
research was carried out with the use of the Leader Behavior Description Questionnaire--
Form Twelve, and the Presidents Biographical-Leadership Questionnaire. A literature
review provided background and understanding of the issues.
A case-study of the San Jose State Women's Resource Center was detailed to identify the
origins and role of a student-run center. Women's Centers are defined as: (1) community-
based centers; (2) campus-based centers that fight for women's equality. The Women's
Resource Center is an example of the latter. Interviews, archival material, and self-report
questionnaires provided data regarding the function of such centers.
Most of the focus and support given to student-athletes is during the time of eligibility.
After the eligibility expires, some of these athletes disconnect themselves from the
athletic department and become a mere memory of the past. The myriad of unique
challenges facing former student-athletes who have not graduated or retired from sports
are well documented. Many reports describe the exploitation of student-athletes in the
revenue producing sports, the research questions became: Are these accounts typical?
Universal? Do most athletes experience exploitation and abuse? African-Americans more
than other racial groups? How representative are these commentaries of the actual sports
experiences of college sport participants? In this investigation I will focus on African-
American college athletes' attitudes, opinions, experiences, and perceptions surrounding
exploitation.
This study addresses the need for educational research specific to rural populations of
American Indians and their non-Indian neighbors. In order to provide answers to both
theoretical and practical questions, a survey was conducted with a random sample of rural
residents living within a twenty-five mile radius of a rural, tribal institution of higher
education. The structured interviews gathered data regarding attitudes, aspirations,
expectations, and perceived barriers. Analyses of the data indicate that this population has
strong, positive attitudes toward higher education and aspires to a college education in
spite of real and perceived barriers. This study does not support the general consensus
that rural residents, especially American Indians, have less positive attitudes, lower
aspirations, or lower expectations than their more urban counterparts. The findings
support the assumptions of rational choice theory and growth motivation theory.
American Indian tribes have maximized the benefits of higher education by developing a
tribally-controlled college and university system.

Childs, S. A. B. (2000). The integration of the first African-American undergraduates at
the University of Kentucky (Kentucky). Unpublished Thesis (Ph.D.), University of
Kentucky.
The purpose of this study is to give a descriptive account of the experiences of the first
African-American undergraduates at the University of Kentucky admitted in 1954, when
the undergraduate student body was integrated. Who were they? What were their
experiences while at UK? Were they successful in completing their education? If so, what
factors contributed to their success? If not what factors precluded their success? Twelve
of the former students were located and interviewed. Other perspectives were provided
by a limited number of administrators and faculty who were interviewed on the
integration of the first, undergraduate African Americans of 1954.
The vast majority of literature on the history of education for African Americans focuses
on the role of racism as the principle factor shaping their educational experiences. To
understand what African American students experienced during the 1945-1955 era (end
of World War II to Brown decision), it is necessary to investigate and interpret the
traditions, rules and practices developed during the four and one-half decades leading up
to 1945. Fusing written sources with oral histories enhances a document by providing a
compete account of an historical event or encounter, thus enabling the development of a
conceptual framework for the history of African American students at the University of
Illinois, between the years of 1945-1955. This dissertation examines the University of
Illinois at Urbana-Champaign, centering on the special conditions confronting African
American students. Furthermore it seeks to show how racism was a principle factor in
shaping the educational experiences of Americans of African ancestry.
This case study examines how women of all races and men of color, appointed to the
faculty of one alternative liberal arts college, affected and attempted to affect its
development during the formative years of the early 1970s. The primary data for the
analysis of the impact of these "minority" faculty on the college was collected through in-
depth interviews with founding faculty and administrators and with women and men of
color hired as faculty during the founding period; replies of 85 alumnae to a mailed
request for anecdotal material describing the impact of "minority" faculty on their
experiences; archival research, and the author's participant-observation as a woman
faculty member and Academic Dean at the institution.
This research examined selected factors that have been shown to shape the “minority”
talent pool for the nation's faculty in higher education. This wasaccomplished through an
examination of data on student participants in the Committee on Institutional Cooperation
(CIC) Summer Research Opportunity Program (SROP). These factors include family
background, students' educational and occupational aspirations, and non-cognitive
indicators that measure students' success attributions, social and political awareness, and
postsecondary educational experiences. Multivariate analyses were used to examine
effects among these factors and their relationship to educational aspiration and
attainment. The broad question that this study addressed is the following: Among
students of color, what individual attributes, along with key educational experiences,
contribute to their success in securing graduate degrees? More specifically, theresearch
asked the following questions about Students of Color (SoC) who participate in research
opportunity programs: (1) What are the characteristics of students who express a desire
for advanced degrees and how do these characteristics contribute to their pre and post-
graduate school academic aspirations? (2) What are the differences in educational
aspirations for students who have undergraduate origins in minority serving institutions
(MSIs) when compared to students from traditionally white institutions (TWIs) and to
what degree do aspirations and attainment depend on undergraduate origins?
There is no easy, succinct way to provide an objective, detailed description of the success
of minorities in higher education. Qualitative and quantitative studies of hundreds of
institutions and thousands of students, single-institution-subject research designs and case
studies exist. Compared to whites, Native, Hispanic, and African Americans, score lower
on achievement tests; enroll in colleges at a lower rate; and, attain fewer degrees. In light
of the magnitude of the problem, the purpose of this research is to evaluate, through
meta-analysis, the research that describes the success of underrepresented American
minorities in senior institutions of higher education. Specifically, factors associated with
the recruitment, admission, persistence, and graduation of African, Hispanic, and Native
Americans at baccalaureate and advanced degree programs in the United States are
identified and their significance is measured.
This study analyzes the effects of specialized and profession accreditation and
institutional prestige on the labor market outcomes of master's degree recipients by
testing a structural equation model based on the human capital theory, the screening
hypothesis, and economic theories of discrimination using data taken from the 1991
Recent College Graduates study conducted by the U.S. Department of Education. The
theoretical model suggested by this theoretical framework does not provide an adequate
description of the sample data, and so derives a path analysis model of this data that is
based on the same observable variables used in the structural equation model. Using this
model, this study finds that specialized and professional accreditation have a significant
positive effect of about 6% that manifests itself indirectly through the direct relationship
of professional status on wages. Furthermore, this study shows that institutional type has
significant direct and indirect effect on wages, with graduates of private institutions
earning nearly 11% more than graduates from public institutions. Analyses of significant
paths identified in the path model indicate that accreditation may be a tool for
professionalizing majors and occupations, or for restricting access into professional
majors and occupations, and that higher education might play a role in sorting women
and minorities into majors that lead to lower-paying occupations. Finally, this study
shows that accreditation and type of institution appear to play roles as educational screens
that lead to disparate labor market outcomes. The main implication of this study is the
need for better evidence that accredited programs and prestigious institutions do provide
a higher quality education than nonaccredited programs and less prestigious institutions,
including for-profit colleges and universities.
The study sought to determine the progress Arkansas made in (1) disestablishing its dual
system of higher education primarily through upgrading its only public African American
college by improved facilities, increased institutional operations, increased student
financial assistance, and additional programs; (2) desegregating student enrollment by
decreasing the disparity of the percentage of African American and white high school
graduates who enter traditionally white colleges the subsequent year, increasing the
percentage of African American students at traditionally white institutions, decreasing the
disparity between African Americans to whites completing degrees, and increasing the
percentage of African Americans entering graduate and professional schools; and (3)
increasing the percentage of African Americans in faculty, administrative, and
nonacademic personnel positions and on governing boards.

This study focused on the role of American Indians in higher education within the
contiguous United States. Specific objectives were to: (1) identify the extent and nature
of Indian college enrollment during the different historical phases of Native American
interaction with higher education; (2) ascertain and describe general changes concerning
white encouragement and opposition to Indian college student enrollment; (3) determine
the periods of reform and change and why they occurred; (4) note why recent advances
for Indians and higher education have frequently been deemed less than satisfactory by
both educators and tribal leaders; (5) trace the origins of the self-determination movement
by Native Americans in higher education.

Research on African Americans in academe rests on the premise that the success of Black
faculty in higher education depends heavily on significant mentoring, and networking
opportunities. However, weak mentoring relationships and fewer networking
opportunities may only reflect an underlying socialization problem for African American
faculty in higher education. The purpose of this study was to examine whether or not
African American faculty perceive the academic culture and institutional climate as
supportive and protective of their intellectual freedom. This study was premised on the
perspective that the process of professional socialization is circumscribed by the culture
of the academic organization. The theoretical framework for this study was based on
research which viewed institutions of higher education as unique organizational cultures,
and faculty as culture bearers' who are influenced by institutional values and beliefs.

This oral history of Mexican American educators examined the South Texas experience
in light of a century-and-a-half of conflict which reflected juxtaposing Anglo Saxon and
Chicano ideologies. Texans of Mexican descent who grew up in South Texas from the
late 1930's through the late 1960's were, to varying degrees, products of this conflict. The
coauthors of this study, for the most part, left South Texas, attained undergraduate and
graduate degrees, then returned to South Texas where they assumed positions of authority
in public higher education during the 1970's and 1980's.

The four-fold purpose of this study was: (a) to examine differences between Asian
American students and other racial groups in terms of higher education aspirations,
academic achievement, and socioeconomic characteristics, (b) to examine differences
among six Asian American groups in terms of higher education aspirations, academic
achievement, and socioeconomic characteristics, (c) to identify factors related to Asian
American students' higher education aspirations, and (d) to investigate the effects of the
selected factors on higher education aspirations of Asian American students.
During the spring of 1996, a series of long interviews were held with selected members
of the Seminole Nation of Oklahoma. These sessions were conducted with volunteers
who had completed at least one year of study at a specific public higher education
institution. Respondents were divided into two subgroups: persisters, those who had
remained continuously enrolled after completing their first year of studies, and non-
persisters, those who had not stayed enrolled after having completed at least a year of
study and who had not been enrolled in higher education for at least one year. The
individuals involved in the study were identified through a cooperative relationship with
the Seminole Nation Higher Education Office. The data collected were analyzed using
both long interview techniques and through the application of a cultural theory.

Education for Native American people has been tainted with a history of forced education
and assimilation into the American educational system. The development of tribal
colleges began in 1968 as Native Americans returned to reservations with an education
and desired a change for their people. Tribal colleges have been assisting tribes to meet
the needs for higher education of Native American people in an environment that is more
conducive to the diverse learning styles, and begin an educational process to preserve
tribal culture.

This research examined the influence of organizational climate on the career mobility
patterns of African American administrators in higher education institutions. Kanter's
(1977) theory of proportional representation suggest the social composition; of
organizations is the antecedent of tokenism. The findings indicate administrators who
experienced tokenism had limited access to the structure of opportunity in higher
education organizations. Moreover, an organizational climate which is shaped by the
numerical rarity of any group (based upon race and/or gender) will result in the condition
of tokenism.

(Native Americans). Unpublished Thesis (PH.D.), The University of Oklahoma.
Historically, the presence of American Indians on college and university campuses was
disproportionate to their numbers in the common schools. Within the last three decades
this trend changed. Though their attendance figures grew almost exponentially during the
period, their completion rate remained extremely low. This phenomenon attracted
educational researchers. Numerous studies were conducted, primarily in reservation
states such as Arizona, Montana, and New Mexico. Researchers found that of all ethnic
groups attending college in pursuit of an undergraduate degree, American Indians were
the least successful. Findings for their high attrition rate included lack of academic
preparation, poor study habits, lack of campus role models, lack of financial support,
homesickness, poor advisement, poor self-image, culture shock and cultural conflict. This
study approached the question from the latter aspect: the notion that cultural conflict may
be a contributing cause to their high attrition rate.
Malkmus, D. J. (2001). Capable women and refined ladies: Two visions of American
women's higher education, 1760--1861. Unpublished Thesis (Ph.D.), The
University of Iowa.
This thesis distinguishes two traditions that shaped women's higher education in western
New York and the upper Midwest between 1760 and 1861. The first tradition taught
genteel manners and accomplishments to elite, urban women; the second taught rigorous
studies to rural boys and girls in coeducational academies. Both traditions persisted
throughout this century; wealthy merchants and professionals supported an advanced
curriculum at women's seminaries, while evangelical denominations with primarily rural
congregations opened advanced, coeducational seminaries. The former emphasized
feminine gentility and belles lettres, the latter useful, non-classical courses suited to
children of farmers and artisans.
The purpose of this study was to examine the methodology and psychometric aspects of a
measure of White Racial consciousness (WRC) and secondarily, to examine the
relationship of WRC to attitudes toward women, people who are deaf, and gay men and
lesbians. In further examining this relationship, comparisons were made between (a) the
relationship of WRC to attitudes toward discernible groups (women) and (b) the
relationship of WRC to attitudes toward less-discernible groups (deaf people, gay men
and lesbians). Additional analyses examined the intercorrelation among attitudes for
people of color, specifically for African Americans and Asian Americans.
Older female students represent the most rapidly growing segment of higher education.
Yet, their motivations and the nature and pattern of their developmental processes and
educational experiences have not been adequately studied. This is particularly true of
minority women. To provide insight into the process by which reentry barriers are
overcome, a sample of eleven age forty and over Black, Mexican-American, and Native
American women of low SES background, who reentered while simultaneously meeting
family and job responsibilities and progressed to graduate school, participated in
dialogues focused on self perceptions and educational experiences.
The system of education has long played a pivotal role in sorting individuals into social
hierarchies. Now, following the dramatic expansion of higher education in the latter half
of this century, that process has increased dramatically in complexity. While previously
the most salient issue of equality concerned mere access, researchers must now take into
account two new axes of stratification: institution type and field of study. This project
contributes to the ongoing effort of better understanding and evaluating the way in which
higher education may reduce or reinforce existing social inequities by examining how
opportunities to earn bachelor's degrees at selective institutions in scientific,
mathematical, and technical fields vary by gender, race, ethnicity and social background.

Many Latinos come from lower socioeconomic backgrounds and are the first in their
families to attend college, often lacking the knowledge and resources necessary to be
academically successful. As the number of ethnic students have increased on college
campuses, so have the number of ethnic student organizations claiming to provide
support and a sense of cultural identity for students who might otherwise feel unwelcome
on predominantly white campuses. Some educators have expressed concern that ethnic-
based organizations encourage segregationist practices which keep ethnic students from
integrating into the mainstream of campus life.

The purpose of this study was to generate grounded theory concerning post-baccalaureate
employment expectations of Black college students enrolled in Historically Black
Colleges and Universities (HBCUs.) The objective has been addressed by determining
the post-baccalaureate employment expectations, both realistic and unrealistic, of Black
business students on a Black campus and by identifying where their expectations
originated. The importance of this research has theoretical and practical implications for
faculty and administrators involved in program planning at HBCUs. This study was
based on the theoretical orientation that organizationally different types of institutions of
higher education contain student bodies manifesting diverse expectations of the college
experience and post-baccalaureate employment. The results of this study show a variance
between student expectations and the realities of employment in corporate America. The
data collected for this study reveal that social encounters can drastically influence an
individual's view of himself and his expectations in business. The findings indicate that
unrealistic ideas concerning workplace expectations come from family, friends and a
strong influence from mass media exposure.

Latinos will soon be the major minority in the United States. As such, one sees a shift in
the racial and ethnic distribution of students in higher education similar to that of the
overall population in the country. Latinos are projected to account for over thirty percent
of students in higher education. While Latinos are entering higher education, namely
through the community college as point of entry, an alarmingly small number are actually
graduating and transferring to four-year institutions.

Public higher education in the United States has historically manifested a disparate
system between the quality of educational opportunities available to citizens of African
descent as contrasted with citizens of European descent. This system of educational
duality, with an inferior quality of education provided to African Americans, is
referenced consistently in the professional literature. The second Morrill Act legally
recognized the dual system of public higher education, and the landmark decision of
Plessy v. Ferguson (1896) gave further credibility to the dual system of public higher
education.
This dissertation was written with the intent to determine the effectiveness of a
community college program for Native American students. The procedure consisted of
the following steps: (1) design of a survey instrument, (2) collect and collate the survey,
(3) review literature with specific emphasis in programs designed for minorities and
programs designed for Native American students in higher education, and (4) summarize
the findings, and make recommendation to integrate into a reconstructed program that
will improve and revitalize Native American students' recruiting, retention and
graduation rates at the community college level, and prepare Native American students
for university transfer.
This study examined the role of United States Lutherans in the higher education of
African Americans. The purpose was to discover, report, and reflect upon the role of
United States Lutheranism in African American post-secondary-education since the late
nineteenth century. Where have we been? Where might we be headed? The lack of
foundational research indicated a need for an exploratory study, one that might lay a basis
for a subsequent definitive test of the impact of the Lutheran educational project on the
quality of life in the American community. The study examined the extent of Lutheran
involvement in the development of post-secondary education for African Americans
during the late nineteenth century. The extent of Lutheran involvement has been a largely
untold story. The intent of this study is to add a disciplined delineation of the Lutheran
African American post-secondary experience.
Scope of the study. This study is an outgrowth of earlier research involving minority
populations and models of change within the higher education context. Using the
theoretical model proposed by Fullan (1991), this exploratory and descriptive study
examined the sources of change in an Oklahoma community college (with particular
emphasis on evolving diversity, specifically, an increase in Native American students)
and their impact upon the dimensions of change (materials, approaches, and beliefs).
Further, the study sought to understand relationships among the dimensions and the
meaning of change to the participants.
The purpose of this study was to investigate the association between Indian student
cultural identification and perceptions of institutional character, and the implications
these factors have for retention of American Indian students in higher education. Data
were gathered using multimethod research consisting of analysis of archival data, a
student survey, student and Indian educator focus groups, and interviews of higher
education personnel and former students.

Most public attention to the problems of paying for college since the mid-1960s has
focused on the development and extension of a network of need-based financial
assistance programs sponsored by federal and state governments, as well as by colleges.
Financial aid assistance available to students today is in excess of $35 billion. In addition,
cost to the federal government has soared from less than half a billion dollars in fiscal
year 1990 to well over $4.5 billion in 1992. Student loans have become the primary type
of student financial aid.

The purpose of this study was to portray the experiences of African-American tenured
female faculty employed within Historically White, public institutions of higher
education in Virginia. This study is a portrait of the career paths, teaching experiences,
institutional experiences, community and personal activities, work life, and the future of
African-Americans. The study focused on personal experiences and provided a grounded
recording for other African-American female faculty members employed within
comparable institutions of higher education.

University.
Hispanics and other minority Americans are denied access to higher education by a
system that needs structural reform. The purpose of the research was to determine
whether creating Hispanic-serving land-grant colleges, similar to the Morrill land-grant
colleges serving Black and Native Americans, might be an effective strategy to increase
the access of Hispanic students to quality higher education. In addition to published
materials, data was collected from a survey of Hispanic-serving institutions and extensive
interviews with college presidents, government representatives, educational association
leaders, and educational historians.
This study was conducted in 1993 to explore those factors and experiences that appear to
influence the academic performance and persistence of minority students who transferred
to a four-year public commuting institution from a two-year college. A questionnaire was
administered to 142 minority students (African-Americans and Hispanic) who had
transferred to the four-year institution in Fall of 1993 soliciting information on students
characteristics, experiences, future plans, and expectations.
