Juan Francisco Aleman III – ProQuest LLC, 2024
Research has shown that nationally, there is a difference in school discipline rates for minority students compared to White students (Anyone et.al, 2021; Wiley, 2021). Black and Brown students have higher rates of exclusionary school discipline, like in-school and out of school suspension, and receive more strict consequences for the same…

One of the most significant issues in education, as defined by the U.S. Department of Education Office of Accountability (2018), is disproportionality in exclusionary discipline. Disproportionality is defined as the over- and under-representation of racial/ethnic minorities in relation to their overall enrollment (Ahram et al., 2011). Currently,…

Linda Zhang; Madison Swirtz; Kerstin Nordstrom – Physical Review Physics Education Research, 2025
Asian(American) physics students lack ample representation in physics identity studies and in the broader science, technology, engineering, and mathematics (STEM) sociological literature. This may be due to their perceived overrepresentation, the "model minority" myth, or their treatment as monolithic. These misconceptions obscure the…

Positive outcomes from undergraduate research experiences (UREs) have resulted in calls to broaden and diversify participation in research. However, we have little understanding of what demographics are reported and considered in the analyses of student outcomes from UREs. Without this information, it is impossible to assess whether participation…

This study examines whether the National Science Foundation's ADVANCE-IT grant program identifies and funds institutions that improve faculty gender equity.

Higher ed professionals are the knowledge workers who sustain key university functions. They typically have at least a bachelor's degree, and most of their positions are what are traditionally considered as white-collar work that helps maintain day-to-day functions of the institution. Without higher ed professionals, universities would not have…

We use nationally representative data to explore the racial composition of modern homeschoolers. Analysis of the National Household Education Survey suggests that the proportion of students of color homeschooling has increased modestly, from 25% in 1998-99 to 29% in 2022-23, suggesting less diversity than public school students but similar to the…

School absences figure prominently in student success. It makes sense that students who are in school have a better chance of learning and growing and when they aren't there, they don't benefit from what schools have to offer. But when absences are marked unexcused the consequences could be significant, further hindering school success for…
