The annual Application Trends Survey from the Graduate Management Admission Council (GMAC) provides the world's graduate business schools with data and insights to understand current trends in applications sent to graduate management education (GME) programs. This year's report begins with information from new survey questions about artificial…

Supporting diverse students in engineering education is considered a critical unsolved issue facing engineering education. The field continues to suffer from a lack of diversity and struggles to recruit and retain underrepresented students. We argue that structural barriers prevent equitable participation. In this paper, we examine structural…

Objective: This investigation longitudinally examined the participation of Black college students in the American College Health Association's National College Health Assessment (ACHA-NCHA). Participants: All respondents to ACHA-NCHA from the years 2008, 2011, & 2014 were included in the analysis. Methods: This study compared the descriptive…

Historically, students from racially minoritized communities receive exclusionary disciplinary actions more frequently and severely in the United States. Researchers have recommended that schoolwide behavioral interventions implemented to address racial disproportionality need to be culturally responsive to local school contexts. Using the theory…

In this article, we propose a new vision of educational development that reimagines how graduate instructors are socialized and professionalized in academic settings. We describe a transgressive learning community that empowers graduate instructors with tools to reveal, mitigate, and disrupt oppressive structures in higher education. Our learning…

This meta-analysis synthesizes research on using ingroup role models to improve the performance and interest of underrepresented students in science, technology, engineering, and math (STEM). A systematic literature search resulted in forty-five studies that met the selection criteria, including the presence of a comparison group. Both lab and…

This article considers the contributions of Indigenous knowledges to educational research. It proposes the term "comparative Indigenous education research" (CIER) in an effort to promote Indigenous-centred research approaches in comparative and international Indigenous education studies. Through CIER, Indigenous peoples and communities…

In identifying whether universities provide opportunities for low-income students, there is a measurement challenge: different institutions face students with different incomes and preparation. We show how a hypothetical university's "relevant pool"--the students from whom it could plausibly draw--affects popular measures: the Pell…

Previous research suggests African American faculty, especially women, have been underrepresented and have felt isolated in institutions of higher education, specifically predominantly White institutions. African American female faculty are often times stressed and overwhelmed from trying to balance work and personal lives. Research suggests that…

Women and minorities remain underrepresented in chemistry bachelor's degree attainment in the United States, despite efforts to improve their early chemistry achievement through supplemental academic programs and active-learning approaches. We propose an additional strategy for addressing these disparities: course-based, social-psychological…

Background: Quantitative researchers have noted the impact of mentoring and support programming for students from underrepresented groups in engineering. Qualitative researchers have also noted the importance of student agency in persistence through marginalization. Nevertheless, challenges and questions remain in identifying practices which are…

Since 2015, Indonesia has been part of an international resolution called Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs), in which gender equality is a critical objective for the betterment of human lives. Accordingly, the Indonesian government has started to pay attention to women's political representation, and it has stipulated policies and regulations…

The problem statement for this manuscript is to describe the literature on grant funding for underrepresented investigators, particularly American Indians, and detail the CRCAIH Pilot Grant Program and its success in developing underrepresented researchers (e.g. American Indian, early stage investigators). Grant funding is increasingly difficult…

Many colleges and universities promote a commitment to diversity on their respective campuses. But among minority students, college retention and graduation rates fall behind their white college peers. This study examined the impact that mentoring has on minority students at predominately white institutions. The results, based on 86 survey…

Community colleges serve a diverse student population. In recent years, enrollment of students who are non-white has surpassed the enrollment of white students. The data above suggest that the same level of diversity is not reflected in the staff at community colleges. Based on data from the Integrated Postsecondary Education Data System (IPEDS),…
