Racial Stratification and the Use of Hispanic Faculty as Role Models: Theory, Policy, and Practice.
Verdugo, Richard R.
Journal of Higher Education, v66 n6 p669-85 Nov-Dec 1995
In an effort to recruit and retain Hispanic students in higher education, some policymakers are advocating a program using Hispanic faculty as role models. It is argued that, as currently conceived, such programs cannot be successful, and that the ideological and structural factors in academe that relegate Hispanic faculty to second-class status must be addressed first.
