Models Of Success With Latino Students (Inside Higher Ed)
"With the Latino population growing, colleges are considering their success - or lack thereof - in educating Latino students," Inside Higher Ed reports. "A new report released Wednesday, 'Modeling Hispanic-Serving Institutions (HSIs): Campus Practices that Work for Latino Students,' explores strategies used by institutions with significant Latino enrollments. The report was released by Excelencia in Education and examined six community colleges and six public universities - in California, New York and Texas. The report looked at five topics identified to help Latino students succeed and what the 12 institutions were doing in those areas. Some examples: Community outreach... Academic support... Data use... Faculty development... Transfer paths."
