Perceptions of campus climate and experiences of racial microaggressions for Latinos at Hispanic-serving institutions
Abstract
This article demonstrates how Latinos attending Hispanic-Serving Institutions (HSIs) of various compositional diversities continue to experience racial microaggressions on campus. Using qualitative data from 40 in-depth interviews with Latino undergraduates enrolled at HSIs of different compositional diversities, findings reveal that participants attending an emerging HSI (23% FTE Latino enrollment [FTE]) and an HSI with a 45% FTE Latino enrollment reported experiencing more racial microaggressions compared with those attending an HSI with 80% FTE Latino enrollment.

Repeated experiences of microaggressions can negatively influence students with marginalized identities' perceptions of the campus as hostile and lead them to question their social belonging.
“When faced with a toxic campus culture that perpetuates harmful stereotypes, students with marginalized identities often question their social belonging as repeated experiences of microaggressions can negatively influence their perceptions of the campus as hostile, signifying that they have no place in the university space (Sanchez, 2019;Walton & Cohen, 2011).”

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.
