I highly recommend this guide as a source for practical guidance, relevant information and food for thought."--Journal of College Student Development

"Diversity" has become the turn-of-the-century buzzword. Republican and Democratic leaders ritually chant "diversity is our strength" and corporate CEOs talk about the need to create a "workforce that looks like America." Most corporate mission statements now contain a clause on "valuing differences" and millions of employees have completed-or soon will undergo-some sort of "diversity training." Where did all this come from -and why? Who created diversity programs? How do they differ? How effective are these policies? Can they do more harm than good in organizations and in the wider society?During the past decade, sociologist Frederick R. Lynch studied the rise of a social policy movement that has successfully moved multiculturalism from universities and foundations into the courts, mass media, and the American workplace. The new diversity policies are future-oriented and market-driven, eclipsing "old" affirmative action debates about overcoming past discrimination against blacks.Based on more than six years of field research and hundreds of interviews, Lynch tracks the development and impact of different forms of diversity policies at dozens of consultant gatherings, in the...

Much of Indiana is sparsely populated and is concerned with agricultural activity; 70 percent of the state's population lives in its 13 metro areas. Partly because residents have done well without high levels of education, a small proportion of adults possess college degrees. Currently, many new jobs in Indiana are at the low end of services that pay very little compared with the manufacturing jobs they are replacing. If the state is to develop a healthy and diverse economy, it must build a "middle" into its service and work force. Due to declining white birth rates, minorities are increasingly becoming an important part of Indiana's future. A greater diversity of students without corresponding diversity within the school faculties to teach and to serve as appropriate role models could reduce the retention rate to high school graduation. Indiana's 72 institutions of higher education seem unusually attractive to nonresident students; thus, enrollment has remained fairly constant in numbers of students. Moreover, public higher education funding has been increasing. An increasingly important item for strategic planning in Indiana's institutions of higher education is the flexibility...
