Whiteness is more than a racial identity. It is a concept that is deeply embedded into the structures and histories of many institutions of higher education. Due to the pervasiveness of Whiteness, institutions are likely to have campus climates that are hostile and unsupportive of students who identify as Black, Indigenous, and People of Color. Campus climate is comprised of multiple dimensions, and it is influenced by multiple contexts that are both internal and external to the institution. By examining these contexts, institutions can unearth the origins of Whiteness in their operations and examine the influence on campus climate.
