Author Description

Academics from public and private institutions provide case studies that explore diversity and multiculturalism in higher education and student affairs. The aim of each case study is to provide a detailed description of an event, incident, or activity involving people, programs, or institutions in a way that fosters discussion and debate while centering on the facts of the case and drawing on relevant knowledge and skill sets. Chapters are grouped into four major categories of case study: lesbian, gay, bisexual, and transgender; race and ethnicity; religion; and students with disabilities.
