Why Aren't We There Yet?: Taking Personal Responsibility for Creating an Inclusive Campus (An ACPA Publication)
This collection of seven essays on diversity in American higher education examines practical policies of inclusion and explores the ways in which overly simplified efforts at assimilation have failed to deliver meaningful results in the creation of campus experiences that address the needs of diverse student populations. Topics discussed include personal and professional development and self awareness, relationship building, the historical context of diversity efforts, institutional culture, practical action versus policy, a diversity of solutions for a diversity of problems, and student affairs, values and inclusion. The contributors are academics in education and administrators in student affairs at US universities."WRitings by student-affairs professionals on such topics as moving beyond talk on inclusiveness to action.
