The challenge every college, university, and state higher education coordinating board has is changing demographics. In most states, minorities are becoming majorities, and the importance of gaining an understanding of other cultures becomes much more evident. To promote diversity in academic leadership, educators must recognize that the college or university should be a microcosm of the total society, and in this setting they have the greatest opportunity to prepare community leaders to lead the new majorities. If they are successful, they will be modeling the servant leaders on the campuses. They will recognize the importance of a culture of trust and the commitment to service that is evident in servant leaders. Finally, they will use this community model as one that is applicable to the greater community. If they are unsuccessful, controversies will lead to unrest on campuses and in many communities. Educators must be persistent in focusing on visionary goals that transform and sustain the goals to attain diversity within the academic leadership of higher education institutions.
