Liliana Garces and Uma Jayakumar on a new model for understanding critical mass, promoting inclusive environments and facilitating the benefits of educational diversity on campus.
Over the past months, college students across the country have been demanding that their institutional leaders take action to address the persistence of racial bias, discrimination and negative campus climates that shape their learning environments. In short, students are seeking both diverse and inclusive campus environments. Students of color are demanding increased access, and just as important, campus communities that support them. These inclusive learning environments are necessary to realize the educational benefits of diversity, which extend to all students.
