Shifting the Paradigm: When Black Students Refuse to Accept the Norm
Quick, Renique T.; Shipley, Denise L.
Black Issues in Higher Education, v21 n6 p31 May 2004
Research shows that the enrollment of minority students has doubled over the past decade. One attributing factor to this increase is the presence of programs that have been created to help raise minority enrollment. But once enrolled, then what? Has the paradigm shifted enough by the "system" to value the presence of Black students as children with the right and the ability to learn more advanced educational material; or are institutions just glad that the rise in numbers increases theft marketability? It is hard to tell, when Black students often graduate at lower rates, matriculate slower and often express heightened feelings of resentment due to climate issues.
