Download or read book Recruitment and Retention of Race Group Students in American Higher Education written by C. Dwayne Wilson and published by Bloomsbury Publishing USA. This book was released on 2008-01-30 with total page 247 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Challenges to American college and university affirmative action and racial and ethnic diversity initiatives were resolved by the Supreme Court in its 2003 decisions in the University of Michigan case. Those decisions affirmed, as a compelling interest, the attainment of racially diverse student bodies in higher education. The Court's decisions and the predicted increases over the next decade in the numbers of race and ethnic group high school graduates have reinforced and in some cases strengthened the resolve of college and university officials that the positive returns from affirmative action and racial diversity are real and worth pursuing. The purpose of this annotated bibliography is to provide a record of the research, scholarship, and programs for recruitment and retention of African American, Alaskan Native, American Indian, Asian American, Latino, and Pacific Islander students at the college and university levels. It is structured to facilitate access by college and university administrators, professionals, consultants, researchers, and students who require information on recruitment and retention to aid in their decision making about strategy related issues, and scientific and creative processes in the area. This bibliography covers more than forty years of literature and contains 969 citations organized into five chapters.

Download or read book Achieving Administrative Diversity written by Raymond C. Bowen and published by Jossey-Bass. This book was released on 1996-07-12 with total page 132 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: As community colleges prepare for the new century, they confront the major challenge of expanding administrative opportunities for minorities. With the nation's demographics changing rapidly--and with community colleges enrolling significant percentages of students from Latino, African American, and Asian American backgrounds--it is practically and ethically imperative for two-year institutions to have administrations that reflect the diversity of the United States. This volume of New Directions for Community Colleges presents essays that explore the problem of minority underrepresentation in community college administrations across the country and suggests concrete strategies for establishing a campus environment that is conducive to administrative diversity. When a campus embraces pluralism as a central part of its institutional ethos, it can overcome the myriad obstacles to administrative diveristy and increase the number of minorities serving in key leadership positions. This is the 95th issue in the journal series "New Directions for Community Colleges." For more information on this series, please see the Journals and Periodicals page.

Download or read book Libraries as User centered Organizations written by Meredith A. Butler and published by Psychology Press. This book was released on 1993 with total page 276 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: How do we begin to assess the impact of economic, technological, demographic, and management trends in our environment and understand the long term implications? How can administrators, managers and information professionals take advantage of these trends? How can librarians empower staff and change organizational hierarchies to create more responsive and rewarding environments? How do we restructure organizations to make them more learning- and student-centered and more responsive to the needs of new clienteles? These are just a few of the questions addressed in Libraries as User-Centered Organizations, which examines organizational change from the point of view that academic institutions are experiencing a paradigm shift in the definition of their mission, their focus, and their activities. As librarians move into a new paradigm of library as gateway and connector, they must also shift their focus from the information product to the user of information. This profound change in vision is explored in this book through the concept of user-centeredness, a focus on the habits, needs, desires, dislikes, abilities, and preferences of the user. Libraries as User-Centered Organizations explores a variety of important aspects of organizational change including: leadership styles sustaining and expanding staff empowerment and creativity collaboration between libraries and computer centers creating multicultural organizations remolding the library science educational structure organizational change in professional associations Libraries as User-Centered Organizations looks at current trends affecting higher education, research libraries, professional education for librarians, professional associations, and publishing from the point of view of some of the leaders in these fields and offers readers a context for viewing organizational change. The book is of particular assistance to library administrators and educators engaged in planning for change and rethinking operations and services.

This volume of New Directions for Community Colleges addresses the realpolitik of assessment and testing from a variety of perspectives and examines the possible shortcomings, threats, and benefits inherent in each. The practical considerations, strategies, recommendations, and assessment methodologies presented in this issue serve as a guide to assessment and testing for the novice as well as the seasoned professional.
