The Challenge of Diversity: Implications for Institutional Research.

Smith, Daryl G.

New Directions for Institutional Research, No. 65 (The Effect of Assessment on Minority Student Participation) v17 n1 p53-68 Spr 1990

The predisposition of higher education has been to maintain homogeneity and adapt only when necessary. The credibility of an institution's commitment to diversity and quality is weakened when it limits access of minority groups. Creating pluralistic communities will involve fundamental change and require a greater capacity to deal with conflict. (MSE)
