The Climate for Underrepresented Groups and Diversity on Campus
Year: 2012
Type: report
Abstract: Since the 2008 election of President Barack Obama, there has been some debate about whether the nation face a postracial era in which race no longer influence Americans’ thinking and experiences. However, surveys of college students indicate that race is still a significant issue and that the underrepresentation of Black, Latina/o, and Native American students only serves to reinforce stereotyping and discrimination in college environments. This report illustrates the conditions apparent for underrepresented groups on campuses with variation in Black, Latina/o, and Native American undergraduate enrollment.
