This study will examine diversity, equity, and inclusion issues through the lived experiences of five executive Latinx leaders that serve (as a dean or above) in the Council of Christian Colleges and Universities (CCCU). There exists a lacuna of Latinx within the executive ranks of colleges and universities in the U.S., and those who currently serve are mostly at the community college level. When it comes to Christian higher education (CHE), the number of Latinx serving at the senior level is twice as low. Thus, those Latinx who are currently serving at the CCCU provide a learning opportunity for other Latinx aspiring to assume leadership positions, while simultaneously providing CCCU schools that desire to attract and retain Latinx leaders, the knowledge in order to do so. This research project was birthed from the investigators experiences in CHE, and a desire to learn if the experiences were unique or if they aligned with other Latinx and people of color. Critical Race Theory (CRT) and Latina/o Critical Theory (LatCrit) are used to conduct qualitative interviews with the Latinx, and the three main questions (and several sub questions in between) are: (1) what are the experiences of executive Latinx leaders in the CCCU, (2) what theology and missiology drive Latinx leaders in the CCCU, and (3) what type of leadership is needed to obtain and sustain an executive leadership position in the CCCU. Nine themes emerged from the Latinx interviews: (1) systemic racism experienced by Latinx leaders, (2) the notion of whiteness and mission fit, (3) the glass ceiling, (4) justice and faith, (5) prayer and total dependence on the Holy Spirit, (6) collaborative and community driven leadership, (7) lifelong learners, (8) chameleon and code-switching leadership, and (9) contextual intelligence and leadership. While there is a growing body of literature in higher education pertaining to people of color and their experiences, there is still a gap on Latinx administrators in CHE in particular. This dissertation provides a fresh look at the current landscape of CHE and how Latinx leaders navigate these predominately white evangelical institutions. Recommendations are provided for both up and coming Latinx leaders who desire to serve and grow within the CCCU, and steps that the CCCU can take in order to become more inclusive and a place where others can have a sense of belonging.
