A problematic, yet uncommon, assumption among many higher education
researchers is that recruitment, retention, and engagement of
African-American males is relatively similar and stable across all
majority White colleges and universities. In fact, the harsh
reality is that selective public research universities (SPRUs) have
distinctive academic cultures that increase the difficulty of
diversifying their faculty and student populations. This book will
discuss how traditions and elitist assumptions make it very
difficult to recruit, retain, and engage African-American males.
The authors will examine these issues from multiple perspectives in
three sections that highlight research, policies and practices
impacting the experiences of African American males, including
Pre-Collegiate Preparation, African American Male Student Athletes,
and Undergraduate and Graduate Considerations for African American
Male Initiatives.
