The Call For Diversity

TRAMA

Coming at the issue from a macro-organizational perspective supplies much-needed balance and complexity to traditional depictions of Post Secondary institutions as largely self-motivated in their diversity efforts. Understanding that such efforts are undertaken in partnership with a variety of external stakeholders seems particularly important in the wake of current legal challenges to campus diversity initiatives.

NOTE EDITORE

This book explores the organizational responses of professional schools and colleges to pressures, demands, requirements, expectations, and incentives related to diversity. The macro-organizational perspective supplies much-needed balance and complexity to traditional depictions of post-secondary institutions as largely self-motivated in their diversity efforts.
