Diversity and Multiculturalism on Campus: How Are Students Affected?

Astin, Alexander W.

Change, v25 n2 p44-49 Mar-Apr 1993

A national study of 82 college outcome measures on 25,000 students from 1985-89 looked at the relationship of outcomes, institutional environment (emphasis on institutional, student, or faculty diversity), and campus activism. Results suggest emphasis on diversity in all forms is beneficial to student development and also promotes student activism. (MSE)
