This booklet offers a framework to help administrators understand the campus environment for minorities, and describes an approach to collecting the information needed to monitor change in that climate with an emphasis on the experiences and perceptions of minority students on campus and the need they express for a more hospitable campus. Following an introduction, the first of three sections offers questions for presidents and senior administrative staff designed to focus thinking on the central issues of campus climate, and to provide a series of talking points for further conversation. The questions are grouped under the following topics: (1) recruitment of minority students; (2) at-risk students; (3) retention of minority students; (4) employee training; (5) minority participation in institutional life; (6) educational programs; (7) non-academic programs; and (8) institutional policy issues. The second section proposes a student program designed to help the institution make the campus environment better for all students and offers questions for a structured student interview. The third section offers actual student comments on campus environment in the following areas: (1) positive attitudes; (2) ignorance and insensitivity; (3) isolation and alienation; (4) stereotyping; (5) overload; (6) too few role models; (7) minority concerns; (8) group relations; (9) white student feelings; and (10) the importance of financial aid. Concluding comments are included. (JB)
