Fogg, Piper – Chronicle of Higher Education, 2008
Isolation and lack of services for members of minority groups can be real hurdles for colleges in small towns and rural areas that want to diversify their work forces.

Featherstone, William H. – ProQuest LLC, 2011
Recent demographic forecasts demonstrate the United States is rapidly becoming more racially and ethnically diverse. By the year 2050, demographers maintain the nation will advance to a "majority minority" state where non-Hispanic Whites will fall below 50%. For that reason, colleges and universities are reevaluating their mission and making…

Stuart, Reginald – Diverse: Issues in Higher Education, 2011
It has been almost five years since Michigan voters chose to ban race-conscious programs from state-funded institutions. The impact of the decision was swift and painful for many, particularly in the state's public higher education landscape. Minority enrollment in public colleges--which was already low--plummeted in many categories as…

Many different views of literacy exist. In my study, I make use of Brian V. Street's two major models of literacy--the autonomous and the ideological.

Robinson, Mona C.; Lewis, Denise; Henderson, DeAnna; Flowers, Carl R. – Rehabilitation Education, 2009
Counselor education programs across the country often fail to attract, enroll and graduate students in proportion that reflects the diversity of the nation.
