Degrees of Success: The Experience of Black Adult Learners in Higher Education.
Allen, Paul
Adults Learning (England), v7 n4 p85-87 Dec 1995
Interviews with black adult students in higher education in Britain found them unhappy with ethnocentrism in the curriculum, instructors who are either racist or ignore race issues, lack of black staff, and lack of employment prospects. Black adult learners are increasingly questioning institutional commitment while experiencing institutional indifference. (SK)
