"As the World Turns" examines two of the major problems confronting
higher education in this modern world: access to higher education
remains a persistent problem for disadvantaged students around the
world; universities that are highly segregated by race, culture,
language, nationality, or immigration status have lower achievement
for disadvantaged students - who are also more often targets of
discrimination. This volume compares discriminated,
underrepresented and excluded groups in universities around the
globe; identifying personal, group, institutional and societal
factors related to persistent inequality. Through a consortium of
international scholars, the chapters present studies on minority
student experiences and achievement, asking whether and how
universities: exhibit difference, diversity and inequality;
integrate multiple social groups; encourage respect between diverse
communities; and use diversity to enhance student learning. This
volume demonstrates how diversity and equity help advance academic
excellence in global higher education.
