The framework to help Hispanic-Serving Institutions transform into
spaces of liberation that promote racial equity and social justice.
Beyond having over a quarter of their undergraduate students be
Hispanic, what makes Hispanic-Serving Institutions (HSIs) uniquely
Latinx? And how can university leaders, faculty, and staff
transform these institutions into spaces that promote racial
equity, social justice, and collective liberation? In Transforming
Hispanic-Serving Institutions for Equity and Justice, Gina Ann
Garcia argues that in order to serve Latinx students and other
students of color, these institutions must acknowledge how
whiteness operates across the organization, from the ways that it
is governed and how decisions are made to how education and
knowledge are delivered. Diversity alone is insufficient for
achieving a dynamic learning environment within higher education
institutions. Garcia's framework for transforming HSIs into truly
Latinx institutions is grounded in critical theories, yet it
advances new ways of thinking about how to organize colleges and
universities that are actively serving students of color,
low-income students, and students from other minoritized
backgrounds. This framework connects multiple important dimensions,
including mission, identity, strategic purpose, membership,
curriculum, student services, physical infrastructure, governance,
leadership, external partnerships, and external influences. Drawing
on over 25 years of HSI research, Garcia offers unique solutions
for colleges and universities that want to better serve their
students. With over 550 colleges and universities already eligible
for the HSI designation, this book is a must-read for everyone in
higher education.
