Supporting Refugees And Asylum Seekers On Their College Journeys, Lindsey Kingston, Esma Karakas
International Journal of Human Rights Education
Armed conflict and political repression have created a refugee crisis in higher education, interrupting many students’ university educations or blocking young people from beginning their studies in the first place. This article outlines preliminary research findings from an ongoing project centered on improving displaced students’ access to American higher education. Motivation for this research stems from the values inherent to human rights education (HRE). Preliminary research data drawn from qualitative interviews with ten forcibly displaced students (or former students) living in Saint Louis, Missouri, highlight how refugees and asylum seekers face unique challenges in accessing higher education. In particular, this …

Race-Conscious Admissions Policies In American Institutions Of Higher Education: How Students For Fair Admissions V. Harvard Could Impact The Practice Of Affirmative Action, Christine Kiracofe
BYU Education & Law Journal
Since inception, affirmative action programs have been char-acterized as everything from institutional ‘reverse’ racism, to neces-sary plans that seek to ameliorate decades of racism. Data from the Pew Research Center indicates that a large majority of Americans support affirmative action. When asked whether “[a]ffirmative ac-tion programs designed to increase the number of black and minori-ty students on college campus are. . . good or bad,” 71% of respond-ents answered “good” in 2017.16 This is a significant increase in the percentage of Americans responding favorably to affirmative action programs. In comparison, when Americans were asked the same question in 2003, just …

Being A Good College Student: The History Of Good Moral Character Rules In State Financial Aid Programs, 1850 To Now, Bradley Custer
BYU Education & Law Journal
Federal and state governments regulate the character of
their residents as a condition of immigration, employment, social
services, and beyond. At the state level, “good moral character”
rules have been analyzed in depth for decades, mostly as they pertain
to admission to the bar and other licensed professions. Character
requirements also affect the ability of college students to get
state-funded financial aid, but these policies have received no scholarly
analysis. According to this study’s findings, there have been at
least 50 state financial aid grant programs with character rules,
which begs the question: what does it mean to be a …

Higher Education: The Black Professional, Donald H. Godbold, Andrew Goodrich, William Moore, Jr.,
IUSTITIA
The black professional in the community college is a catalog of contradictions. His or her condition can only be described as tragic; and his or her plight is a travesty on the philosophy of the two-year college. The preliminary findings of one study in progress note that nearly half (409 or 47 per cent) of the 865 two-year institutions included in the sample do not have a single black faculty member or administrator. Eighty-nine of the remaining 456 colleges have only one black staff member. Similarly, there are a number of community colleges located in areas heavily populated by blacks …
