Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Abstract: In 2006, semi-structured interviews were conducted with 15 undergraduate African American college students attending a predominantly White university in the Midwest. The purpose of this qualitative research was to discover these participants' perceptions of and lived experiences within the university and to work toward development of a grounded theory of the African American student experience. Included in the body of the dissertation is a review of the literature about climate issues for African Americans on predominantly White college campuses as well as relevant empirical findings about minority graduation rates and degree achievement. The analysis of emergent data from this research revealed that: (a) the participants contended with the daily challenges that all college students face, but also particular challenges because of their social status as racial minorities; (b) the participants were affected by elements of racism, segregation, alienation, and marginalization; (c) the participants recognized the University's efforts to promote diversity; and (d) the resilience of this group of participants was evident by their ability to matriculate in spite of the aforementioned barriers. Furthermore, the participants in this study recognized that they are comparable to their student peers academically, yet they remain on the periphery, or out of the mainstream, at a predominantly White university.

Book excerpt: For the last decade, the attainment gap in college graduation rates between Black males and females has continued to grow, despite the best efforts of researchers interested in identifying both its causes and suggesting possible policy remedies. Although much of the work has focused on the search for cognitive differences between African American males and females, there has been little, if any, research on the different ways that Black males and females may perceive their campus climate. In an attempt to broaden the literature in this area, this study examined the perceptions of 366 undergraduate African American students at a predominately White institution regarding three specific dimensions of campus climate - the amount of institutional support received, the level of social integration, and the student's level of self-efficacy. After constructing a series of indices for each of the dimensions as well as an overall index for each respondent, multiple regression analysis was used to determine the extent to which gender and other demographic factors may have contributed to the students' perceptions of institutional support, social support, and self-efficacy. The findings from the study revealed few differences in the ways that Black males and females perceived the campus climate at the institution under study; in fact, the only significant difference was in the area of social support where males felt more supported than females. However, the results of the regression analysis revealed that demographic factors played a significant role in explaining the student's overall perceptions of campus climate, as well as why some students felt more socially supported and self-efficacious than others. Specifically, age, gender, marital status, campus employment, membership in sororities, fraternities, and the Black Student Association were all significant predictors of social support, while the student's collegiate grade point average was the only predictor for self-efficacy. Recommendations for future research include examining the perceptions of intra-racial groups at private four-year institutions as well as community colleges; testing for differences in campus climate between White institutions and Historically Black Colleges and Universities; and expanding upon the qualitative component of this dissertation to include a more nuanced discussion of individual students.

Book excerpt: Abstract: The premise of this study was to explore the recollections of the experiences of African American graduates from a predominately White university and to understand how these experiences shaped them within the context of their professional and personal lives. Using a qualitative research design, this study uses Critical Race Theory, an emerging theoretical framework in the field of education to better understand the stories and cultural life worlds of the minority college student. Through in depth interviews the study draws from Sarah Willie's work, Acting Black (2003) as a starting point to understand what the researcher defined as The New Talented Tenth, a term coined by the great intellectual African American, W.E.B. DuBois in an effort to illustrate the responsibilities of the gifted of the race in regard to those who were unable to obtain a higher education. The major findings of the study were: African American students create a separate community with internal cliques. They transmit values to new members, however, the extent of this acceptance of values changes. They do not view the need for this community as one of protection from hostility on campus; rather, the community perpetuates itself for social and emotional purposes. The very nature of racial identifiability, all African American students who do not consciously choose to self-exclude from this community are a part of it, even if they see themselves as outsiders. African American students are dealing with tension between maintaining Africentric values of cooperation and collaboration while adopting more Eurocentric values of competition and individualism. The leadership of a African American president at a predominately White university greatly changed the perceptions of success for African American students on campus as well as the climate. Thus, his death retarded the development of diversity and inclusion and changed the campus climate forcing African American students to adopt new ways of coping on the campus. Implications, and recommendations for educators in developing praxis while opening dialogue and advancing knowledge in the area of the African American college experience were all drawn from the findings of this study.

Book excerpt: Universities around the country are consistently focusing on increasing diversity among the student population, yet little is known about how minority graduate student populations fair academically and personally in predominately White institutions, specifically African American graduate students. This qualitative study examines the lived experiences of six African American graduate students. Participants were interviewed using a semi-structured interview guide on their experiences in a predominately White graduate program. The findings support previous research that indicates that social conditions have not changed and minority students are still not well integrated into their programs. Findings also suggest that although Berry's (1987) model of acculturation can be used to conceptualize the experience of African American undergraduate students, the experience of graduate students is more complex, and only partially supported by this model. Suggestions for how universities can better improve the environment for African American graduate students are included.
