President Emeritus Miguel A. Nevárez: An Agent for Social Justice in Higher Education
Avila, Rolando; Pankake, Anita
Journal of Hispanic Higher Education, v17 n4 p294-316 Oct 2018
This study chronicles important contributions made by Miguel A. Nevárez, an Hispanic model for social justice in higher education. An analysis of archival records and interviews shows how Nevárez brought about greater opportunities for South Texas students by institutionalizing campus initiatives and by playing a role in the birth of the South Texas Border Initiative and the expansion of the University of Texas System. By chronicling Nevárez's actions, this study fills a gap in the historical record.
