Occasional Papers on Catholic Higher Education, v1 n3 Jun 1996
This document reports on a project conducted to seek previously uncollected information on Catholic colleges and universities with respect to institutional demographics and programs being used to increase diversity. The project goals also included exploring the impact of Catholic identity on these programs and testing the hypothesis that the religious character of an institution uniquely facilitates the development of a multicultural community. The project involved a survey of the 198 member institutions of the Association of Catholic Colleges and Universities and statistical and other analyses of the 86 responses. The survey addressed institutional characteristics, campus activities concerning diversity, campus culture and climate, and overall forces and lessons learned concerning campus issues of diversity. This report is divided into four parts. Part 1 concentrates on ethnocultural diversity issues and the degree of diversity at Catholic colleges. Part 2 describes project objectives and methodology. Part 3 lists questionnaire items in the survey, and summarizes the responses. Part 4 highlights 13 of the 86 responding institutions and includes an annotated bibliography and biographical information about the authors of this document. A directory of university contacts is attached. (Contains 50 references.) (CK)
