Unleashing Suppressed Voices on College Campuses: Diversity Issues in Higher Education

In these 30 case studies, contributors consider a wide range of topics, including academic affairs administration, faculty tenure and promotion, student affairs administration, student athletes in revenue-producing sports, enrollment management, and business. They cover the traditionally Black college, controversial campus artifacts, American Indian mascots, Black Greek letter campus associations, cultural centers that become multicultural centers, doing the right thing when caught in the crossfire, south Asian and Black women administrators, affirmative action and the new racism in faculty hiring, the biological clock, over-commitment in Black faculty and students, double-talk in recruitment, the perfection of the status quo, faculty development in Black studies departments, new populations (such as those with disabilities, basic skills students, athletes, religious minorities, Asians and Pacific Islanders, those with alternate gender identification and freshmen), and situations concerning student or alumni activities and external relations.
