In this ground-breaking book, twenty-four Latina/o scholars provide an historical background review issues of student access and achievement, and lessons learned and present the problems of status and barriers faced by administrators and faculty. Opening access to Latinas/os, assuring their persistence as students in higher education, and their increased presence in college faculty and governance, is of paramount importance if they are to make essential economic gains and fully to participate in and contribute to American society. In fact Latinos are the least represented population in our colleges and universities, whether as administrators, faculty or students and as students have one of the highest levels of attrition.
