Asian Americans and Campus Climate: Investigating Group Differences around a Racial Incident
Johnston, Marc P.; Yeung, Fanny P. F
Journal of Student Affairs Research and Practice, v51 n2 p143-156 May 2014
Racially biased incidents pervade college campuses warranting further attention to their influence on campus climate. This study examines one such incident that targeted Asian American students, who are the largest racial group at the compositionally diverse institution. Using the Diverse Learning Environments survey and the "naturally occurring" incident during data collection, we demonstrate significant group differences across a number of climate indicators and explore the malleability of campus racial climate after the racially biased incident.
