Regional Affirmative Action and Recruitment & Retention of Students of Color / A Phenomenological Interview Study of Multicultural Recruitment Admissions Counselors of Small Liberal Arts Colleges

Abstract: Since the early 1990s, changing perspectives on Affirmative Action have resulted in inquiries into the nature of college admissions protocols and their legal ramifications. Colleges and Universities nationwide have struggled to recruit and retain students of color while also addressing claims that Affirmative Action-directed admissions policies constitute reverse discrimination. This 50 page paper reflects the nature of the changing perspective on Affirmative Action in the college setting, provides an overview of the history of Affirmative Action, and then applies this information to a study of multicultural recruitment, admissions, and admissions counselors at three small liberal arts colleges. Bibliography lists 35 sources.
