The Multicultural Campus: Strategies for Transforming Higher Education [Paperback]

The Multicultural Campus brings together administrators, faculty, and students to offer strategies that will alter the academic environment of the future. Hispanic, African, and Asian American educational leaders examine the obstacles they have faced, as minorities, climbing up the predominantly white career ladder in American universities. Firsthand accounts show how change on governance, executive, faculty, and curricula levels will help us better educate all students in our nation's growing pluralistic society.The Multicultural Campus brings together administrators, faculty, and students to offer strategies that will alter the academic environment of the future.
