Description

Designing Transformative Multicultural Initiatives: A Theoretical Foundation for Change. Higher education is facing significant challenges, including changing demographics and shrinking budgets. To address these issues, colleges and universities need to adopt strategies that value diversity and inclusion at all levels of their institutions. This book provides a theoretical framework and practical tools to support this approach, arguing that "diversity as a value" should be central to institutional change efforts. The contributors to this book identify key elements for successful multicultural initiatives and the skills needed to manage difference effectively. They provide insights into how administrators, faculty, and student affairs professionals can work together to create a more inclusive environment, including strategies for sensitively managing conflicts and deconstructing challenging structures.
