This book was released on 2011-07-29 with total page 229 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: In order for the United States to maintain the global leadership and competitiveness in science and technology that are critical to achieving national goals, we must invest in research, encourage innovation, and grow a strong and talented science and technology workforce. Expanding Underrepresented Minority Participation explores the role of diversity in the science, technology, engineering and mathematics (STEM) workforce and its value in keeping America innovative and competitive. According to the book, the U.S. labor market is projected to grow faster in science and engineering than in any other sector in the coming years, making minority participation in STEM education at all levels a national priority. Expanding Underrepresented Minority Participation analyzes the rate of change and the challenges the nation currently faces in developing a strong and diverse workforce. Although minorities are the fastest growing segment of the population, they are underrepresented in the fields of science and engineering. Historically, there has been a strong connection between increasing educational attainment in the United States and the growth in and global leadership of the economy. Expanding Underrepresented Minority Participation suggests that the federal government, industry, and post-secondary institutions work collaboratively with K-12 schools and school systems to increase minority access to and demand for post-secondary STEM education and technical training. The book also identifies best practices and offers a comprehensive road map for increasing involvement of underrepresented minorities and improving the quality of their education. It offers recommendations that focus on academic and social support, institutional roles, teacher preparation, affordability and program development.

Book excerpt: This publication¿the latest report from AAC&U¿s Liberal Education and America¿s Promise (LEAP) initiative¿defines a set of educational practices that research has demonstrated have a significant impact on student success. Author George Kuh presents data from the National Survey of Student Engagement about these practices and explains why they benefit all students, but also seem to benefit underserved students even more than their more advantaged peers. The report also presents data that show definitively that underserved students are the least likely students, on average, to have access to these practices.
Download or read book Minorities in Public Higher Education written by and published by University Press of America. This book was released on 1988 with total page 80 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The fundamental issues confronting public higher education in its efforts to reach America's minorities are addressed. Higher education's historical progress in providing a path to equality is surveyed, and certain recent trends showing a clear reversal of that progress are examined. Three chapters offer strategies for stopping the trend and reawakening the national commitment to providing higher education as a path to equality for all. "Public Higher Education and Black Americans: Today's Crisis, Tomorrow's Disaster?" (Clifford R. Wharton, Jr.) advocates a second front in the battle for educational equity, with minority communities being the foundation for minority progress. In "Revising the Recent Decline in Minority Participation in Higher Education" John Maguire expands on this theme to argue that the society must recognize its vital stake in minority progress before any progress can be made. This new perspective must be permanent. Finally in "Standing at the Crossroads: Traditionally Black Colleges Today," Albert N. Whiting examines the historical and contemporary vitality of traditionally black institutions and explores their necessity and value in a society committed to integration. (SM)

Download or read book Race and Rurality written by Tyler Hallmark and published by Taylor & Francis. This book was released on 2023-11-02 with total page 272 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This book offers context, research, policy, and practice-based recommendations centering college access and success for a historically overlooked population: rural Students and Communities of Color. Through an exploration of how colleges and universities can effectively welcome students from rural areas who identify as Asian and Pacific Islander, Black and African American, Hispanic and Latinx, and/or Indigenous, this text challenges the misleading narrative that rural is white, thereby placing these students and their communities in conversation with national higher education discourse. Rich contributions on scholarship, practice, and policy address the intersection of racism and spatial inequities and consider the unique opportunities and challenges that rural Students and Communities of Color face across the United States’ higher education landscape. Chapters provide direction on creating equitable policies and practices, as well as details of the assets, resources, and networks that support this population’s success. This edited collection provides a wealth of insight into the recruitment, access, persistence, and retention of rural Students of Color, equipping higher education researchers, practitioners, administrators, and policymakers with the knowledge they need to better account for and support rural students and communities across race and ethnicity.
Download or read book Minority Serving Institutions written by National Academies of Sciences, Engineering, and Medicine and published by National Academies Press. This book was released on 2019-02-05 with total page 255 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: There are over 20 million young people of color in the United States whose representation in STEM education pathways and in the STEM workforce is still far below their numbers in the general population. Their participation could help re-establish the United States' preeminence in STEM innovation and productivity, while also increasing the number of well-educated STEM workers. There are nearly 700 minority-serving institutions (MSIs) that provide pathways to STEM educational success and workforce readiness for millions of students of colorâ€"and do so in a mission-driven and intentional manner. They vary substantially in their origins, missions, student demographics, and levels of institutional selectivity. But in general, their service to the nation provides a gateway to higher education and the workforce, particularly for underrepresented students of color and those from low-income and first-generation to college backgrounds. The challenge for the nation is how to capitalize on the unique strengths and attributes of these institutions and to equip them with the resources, exceptional faculty talent, and vital infrastructure needed to educate and train an increasingly critical portion of current and future generations of scientists, engineers, and health professionals. Minority Serving Institutions examines the nation's MSIs and identifies promising programs and effective strategies that have the highest potential return on investment for the nation by increasing the quantity and quality MSI STEM graduates. This study also provides critical information and perspective about the importance of MSIs to other stakeholders in the nation's system of higher education and the organizations that support them.

This book was released on 2006 with total page 60 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Improving the participation and performance of African American, Latino, American Indian, and Asian American students, faculty and staff in Washington state's higher education system represents a pivotal element of the statewide strategic master plan. This report includes current statistics and trend data for student enrollment, retention, and graduation. An overview of some of the diversity related programs and practices currently in effect is provided. In addition, the report presents a number of recommendations for advancing programmatic efforts to foster greater equity through enhancing diversity in higher education. Three fundamental conclusions derive from the report: (1) While college enrollment for some American racial and ethnic minority students has begun to rebound since 1998 legislation, most of the data reflect areas where the state is at best maintaining the status quo; (2) Continual efforts in state colleges and universities are a step in the right direction, but do not address a greater need for systemic change; and (3) Recommendations for enhancing diversity must address four key areas: (1) Stepping up pre-college efforts; (2) Helping students succeed in college; (3) Improving faculty diversity; and (4) Promoting systemic change. In addition, increasing minority participation and achievement will require greater collaboration among stakeholders, shared responsibility for results, and ongoing benchmarks and accountability measures. Along with research data, the recommendations in this report are based on outreach efforts. Over the past few years, the Higher Education Coordinating Board (HECB) has conducted two surveys aimed at gathering information from the state's public and private, two- and four-year colleges and universities about institutional diversity efforts. Some of those outreach and recruitment strategies are highlighted in this report. The following are appended: (1) Detailed Data Tables; and (2) Pre-College Programs. (Contains 10 footnotes, 1 figure and 19 tables.).
