The Call For Diversity: Pressure, Expectation, and Organizational Response in the Postsecondary Setting / Edition 1

by David J. Siegel

Overview

This book explores the organizational responses of professional schools and colleges to pressures, demands, requirements, expectations, and incentives related to diversity. The macro-organizational perspective supplies much-needed balance and complexity to traditional depictions of post-secondary institutions as largely self-motivated in their diversity efforts.
