Abstracts of 76 documents on retention of minorities in higher education are presented in a bibliography created to provide faculty and administrators access to unpublished works and journal articles on minority retention. The materials, which were produced between 1978-1982, include unpublished reports, conference papers, and dissertations. Minority students refer to Blacks, Hispanics, Chicanos, Asian Americans, and American Indians. The materials cover all postsecondary educational levels (two-year, four-year, graduate, and professional schools), along with public and private institutions. Documents were identified by computer searches of five databases, including the Educational Resources Information System (ERIC) and Dissertation Abstracts International. When appropriate, document identification numbers are included to enable the reader to obtain copies. A subject index is included. (SW)
