EXCERPT:
Black students do not feel welcome at “Hispanic-serving institutions,” according to a new study.
However, higher education in general has a racist history, according to the University of New Mexico scholars who wrote the study.
“Conceptualizing Anti-Blackness at a Hispanic-Serving Institution,” includes interviews with black students who attend one of these colleges.
“To qualify as a Hispanic-Serving Institution (HSI), an institution must be an accredited degree-granting college or university with enrollment of at least 25% full-time equivalent undergraduates who self-identify as Hispanic,” the study explains.
The authors include Brandi Wells-Stone, who directs “African-American Student Services” at the University of New Mexico. Her employer is a Hispanic-serving institution.
