United Front: Engaging Issues of Diversity Across Student Affairs Functional Areas

This study utilized multicultural organizational development theory to analyze the effects the college or university can have on campus racial environments. Students in this study reported experiencing racial microaggressions, racial bias, and hate crimes frequently on campus. Racial microaggressions can often be difficult to identify and address, but the response from the campus used for this study was often lacking entirely, and when a strategy was employed it utilized only the Multicultural Affairs office rather than a concerted and unified approach to diverse students' needs and safety.
