Description
Introduction While the headlines read that the numbers of racial/ethnic minorities on college campuses are not keeping pace with the overall growth in the college student population, the new intellectual power that exists on America's college campuses is at an all time high. The background, knowledge, and experiences that African American scholars--as well as American Indian/Native Alaskan, Asian Pacific Islander, and Hispanic/Latino scholars--bring to the American college in the 21st century is having a major impact on the institution of higher education in the United States. This impact will only grow and amend the culture of higher education if these new members (new with respect to traditional notions of the American college) continue to take advantage of the opportunities presented in academe and avoid the pitfalls that may impede their ability to survive, contribute, and flourish.
