Diversity’s Promise for Higher Education: Making It Work by Daryl G. Smith
Requirements: .ePUB reader, 2 MB
Overview: Daryl G. Smith has devoted her career to studying and fostering diversity in higher education. She has witnessed and encouraged the evolution of diversity from an issue addressed sporadically on college campuses to a reality of the modern university experience. In Diversity’s Promise for Higher Education, Smith brings together scholarly and field research relevant to the next generation of diversity work. The book argues that achieving excellence in a diverse society requires increasing the institutional capacity for diversity while simultaneously working to understand how diversity is tied to better leadership, positive change, research in virtually every field, student success, accountability, and more equitable hiring practices.
To become more relevant to society, the nation, and the world while remaining true to their core missions, colleges and universities must continue to see diversity―like technology―as central, not parallel, to their work. In Diversity’s Promise for Higher Education, Smith proposes a set of clear and realistic practices that will help colleges and universities locate diversity as a strategic imperative and pursue diversity efforts that are inclusive of the varied―and growing―issues apparent on campuses without losing focus on the critical unfinished business of the past.
