Abstract

16 ABOUT CAMPUS / MAY–JUNE 2015 have become more inclusive, expanding beyond considerations of gender and race to include socioeconomic status, ethnicity, sexual identity, immigrant status, disabilities, athletes, and more. Notwithstanding this expansion, the issues of race and ethnicity continue to pose unique challenges and opportunities in our larger society and on our campuses. Research on racial and ethnic issues often focuses on differences across groups (e.g., Blacks and Whites; Latino/as and Whites; Asians and Whites). Yet, scholars increasingly call for examination of within-group differences, which challenge us to move beyond a monolithic understanding of groups as simply Asians, Latinos, Blacks, and Whites. Within-group research adds to the complexity and understanding of the many THE TOPIC OF DIVERSITY PERMEATES all aspects of American culture, particularly as it relates to the changing demographics of our nation and the impact that these changes are having on every sector in society. In higher education, the topic of diversity extends across multiple domains (e.g., students, faculty, staff, alumni, policy making, administrative issues, and governance). Discussions about student diversity are central to every campus, especially as they relate to who is admitted, the nature of their academic experience, and who ultimately completes a degree. In the 21st century, more scholars are studying diverse communities of students, which adds to our understanding of underrepresented students’ experiences in U.S. higher education. Moreover, definitions of diversity Black Within Black: The Perceptions of Black Immigrant Collegians and Their U.S. College Experience Chrystal A. George Mwangi and Sharon Fries-Britt disrupt the idea of a monolithic experience among Black students by reporting on Black within-group diversity and the perceptions and experiences of Black immigrants in higher education.

    “Avoiding white spaces in which one is the only Black person can operate as a form of self-protection against the burden of Onlyness coined by Harper et al. (2011); that is, the experience of being the only one (e.g., being the only Black student in a lab or in a class; George Mwangi & Fries-Britt, 2015).”

About these checks

Registry, retraction, Cites and statistics results are computed, not judged, with one exception: a printed reference that no index lists is read once by a model before it counts as a citation error. Claims are extracted by a model and kept only when their quote appears verbatim in the text; each cited source is then checked, with a model’s help, for whether it says what the claim relies on. Those verdicts can be wrong — read the claim’s quote and the cited source before relying on one.

Statistics and arithmetic are recomputed, not judged.

Confidence bands are shown only for fields calibrated on our annotated test set. None is calibrated yet, so no band is shown.
