Foreword Karen L. Dace

Claims of increasing benefits, private and public, resulting from greater levels of educational attainment in the United States are rarely contested. Private returns include access to high-paying, elite managerial and professional careers and the health and welfare benefits derived from participation in those careers. The larger society benefits from the presence of trained and educated individuals who replenish and increase the nation's supply of professionals capable of planning and directing our cultural, educational, scientific, and industrial institutions. Vigorous recruitment and retention efforts at the postsecondary education levels enhance directly the probabilities for realization of the personal benefits by race and ethnic group youth and adults, which indirectly benefits the society. Those efforts are often performed under the rubrics of affirmative action and racial diversity. Supreme Court decisions of 2003 in the University of Michigan case reaffirmed, as a compelling interest, the attainment of racially diverse student bodies in higher education. In addition, even the most conservative estimates predict a dramatic increase in the number of diverse high school graduates over the next decade. These decisions and the predicted increase in students of color reinforce and, in some cases, strengthen the resolve of college and university officials that the benefits of racial diversity are real and worth pursuing. Further, college and university officials understand that plans intended to help their institutions benefit from racial diversity must be crafted so as to minimize conflicts with constitutional requirements and federal civil rights laws. The publication of this bibliography is a significant event in the advancement of race and ethnic diversity in American higher education. Based on a selection of books, articles, and other published documents, this bibliography emphasizes underlying commonalities in the disparate works on various American racial and ethnic groups-African Americans, American Indians, Alaska

Foreword

Natives, Asian Americans, Latino/as, and Pacific Islanders. College and university administrators, enrollment and retention professionals and consultants, and researchers, as well as students interested in issues affecting diversity, race, and ethnic relations, will find the information presented here helpful. The broad and interdisciplinary coverage presented provides opportunities for readers to explore a mix of useful information on race and ethnic minorities. It facilitates access for those users requiring information on recruitment and retention to aid in their decision making about strategy-related issues. This is an excellent resource for researchers interested in the most current information on recruitment and retention research, scholarship, and programs. It will also facilitate scientific and creative processes in the area by allowing readers to draw parallels between their own works to extant scholarchip. Finally, this book serves as a foundation for descriptive, interpretive, and critical activities to be applied to the outcomes of opinion, theory, and research on recruitment and retention of diverse student groups. This bibliography is a tribute to the growth of literature on race and ethnic group recruitment and retention in postsecondary education. I applaud its arrival on the stage of public discourse. Dwayne Wilson, Bernie Lubin, and their colleagues deserve our praise and gratitude for this contribution to the student diversity agenda.

Karen L. Dace, Ph.D. , is Associate Vice President for Diversity at the University of Utah .

Preface The purpose of this bibliography is to provide a record that facilitates access by administrators, researchers, graduate students, and consultants to the literature on recruitment and retention of American race and ethnic group students to college- and university-level education. Our interests in charting this path through the literature was stimulated by our observations of the ebbs and flows of the debates about affirmative action in higher education, the struggles and successes of student affairs professionals as they work to retain and graduate race and ethnic group students, and our desires to make a contribution to the diversity agenda in higher education. We began this project by first locating descriptors of works on recruitment and retention of race and ethnic group students in higher education. These descriptors were used to search multiple interactive database retrieval services. Those services included ABI Inform, Dissertation Abstracts, EBSCO Host in which we selected Academic Search Elite, Eric, and Books in Print for one multidatabase search, First Search, Government Monthly Catalog, Lexis Nexis, Proquest, PsycInfo, Wilson Databases, Sociological Abstracts, and World Cat. The number of works from those sources was extensive, but limited in some instances due to the time periods covered in the database. To overcome those limitations, the reference lists of retrieved works from the 1960s were consulted for the purposes of identifying additional works from earlier times that were pertinent to the purpose of this bibliography. After identifying the census of materials, we established inclusion and exclusion criteria knowing that the volume of materials regarding recruitment and retention of minority students in higher education was enormous. We decided to include those works that gave primary focus to one or both of the main themes of this bibliography and the works addressing issues related to recruitment and retention of race and ethnic group students. We decided also to include exemplary works that provided paradigmatic frameworks for the study of recruitment or retention in higher education. We excluded conference

Preface

proceedings unless the entire conference or the majority of the papers was devoted to one or both of the topics of this bibliography. Undergraduate research papers and masters theses were also excluded. Articles, books, dissertations, and published documents were retrieved from the local library, through interlibrary loans and from electronic retrieval sources. They were then reviewed to determine their suitability for inclusion in this bibliography. The authors used special procedures to determine whether a specific book or chapter would be included when it did not have in its title the words recruitment or retention and minority or ethnic college students. We searched the table of contents and indexes of those sources for key words such as minority students, diversity, affirmative action, recruitment, or retention and then proceeded to the designated pages to determine which of the books and/or chapters within it met the criteria for inclusion. If a chapter in a book was to be included, we decided to cite the entire book rather than the chapter, which is why there are no chapters listed in the bibliography. All the annotations in this bibliography are descriptive rather than critical. We avoided intentionally passing judgments on the utility and value of the works and limited ourselves to conveying in an abbreviated manner the ideas that made the works distinctive. After completing the annotations, we organized the bibliography into categories. Our decision to combine like entries into specific chapters was based on identifying the commonalities among them and the logical fit of the entries with the subsequent chapter headings. Five chapter headings were then developed-Access and Retention, Social and Economic Factors, Institutional Initiatives, Student and Campus Factors, and Mentors and Social Intgration. Each chapter is introduced with a summary of its contents, and the entries are listed in alphabetical order by author. This survey of the literature is comprehensive but not exhaustive. We are sure that some published works important to the recruitment and retention of race and ethnic group students in American higher education escaped our search or may have been excluded from consideration due to the nature of our inclusion criteria. We would be grateful for help from users of this bibliography in adding to our collection of data and offering their comments on the current bibliography.

Acknowledgments Many people have contributed to the completion of this bibliography; and we want to thank our friends, colleagues, and acquaintances who helped us. We want to express special thanks to Marie Paiva at the Marriott Library of the University of Utah for her gracious extension of her knowledge, time, and energy to help us throughout this project. Our thanks and gratitude to Margaret Landesman, Curley Jones, and Paul Mogren at the Marriott Library of the University of Utah, and to James Neeley at the Watson Library of the University of Kansas for their efforts at directing us to obscure resources and easing the materials retrieval tasks. We are indebted to Elizabeth Potenza, Assistant Editor at Praeger Publishers, who supported and guided us as we struggled to meet publication deadlines. We want to thank also the many race and ethnic group undergraduate and graduate students and student affairs personnel who on a daily basis experience the highs and lows associated with the diversification agendas on American college campuses. Their successes and struggles have sustained our motivations to compile this bibliography. And finally, a special thank you to Irene Mato Ota and Candace Minchey at the College of Social Work of the University of Utah for their technical assistance in the structuring of the manuscript.

Mentors and Social Integration The entries in this chapter emphasize the importance of social relations between race and ethnic group students, and campus-based faculty and staff for addressing effectively the recruitment and retention challenges facing colleges and universities. The efficacy of faculty, and staff mentors for retention is also stressed by many of the authors of the entries in this chapter, and some authors discuss how peer mentors experience personal growth and also benefit academically from the mentoring experience. Others authors stress the importance of active participation by race and ethnic group students in the development of institutional recruitment strategies, and in recruiting incoming students.
