Beyond Individual Social Mobility
Discussions on the purposes of higher education remain focused on the university despite the heterogeneity of sectors, which limits a richer understanding from various perspectives (Ashwin, 2022). Students’ perspectives also remain underexplored (Cuellar et al., 2022). Informed neoliberalism’s impact on higher education (Mintz, 2021) as well as critical race theory in education (Solorzano, 1998) we consider how community college students articula…
Échale ganas, tú puedes”
This paper demonstrates how Latinx/a/o parents drew on various forms of capital to support their children's college application, choice, and transition during the pandemic. Latinx/a/o parents encouraged and supported their children by maintaining high college aspirations despite COVID-19 concerns, entrusting their children with their college choice decisions despite sometimes conflicting with their own, and supporting their children in their coll…
Direct and Indirect Impacts of Sociopolitical Contexts on Campus Climate
Purpose: Several studies uncover how the period leading up to the 2016 election and the Trump administration affected college students, in particular those targeted by the rhetoric and policies in this tense sociopolitical environment. This article builds on this scholarship and examines how the broader sociopolitical context shaped how targeted and nontargeted students perceived and experienced the campus climate. Research Methods/Approach: We i…
Racialized Experiences Off and On Campus
This study examines Latina/o student perceptions of the campus climate at an emerging Hispanic-Serving Institution (HSI) with attention to how external factors (sociohistorical and local contexts) inform these views. Through focus groups, the findings show that Latina/os students’ positive and negative views of the climate are shaped by their racialized experiences on and off campus. As emerging HSIs consider how to more intentionally serve a gro…
Examining Recruitment Practices for Servingness during Covid-19
The COVID-19 pandemic hit in March 2020 as high school seniors were receiving their college admission notifications for fall. Many postsecondary institutions shifted outreach efforts to online formats. This qualitative study examines how virtual recruitment at an emerging HSI incorporates culturally responsive practices from the perspective of institutional agents (IAs) who were involved in these efforts. We also consider how IAs perceive the bro…
Reaffirming the Public Purposes of Higher Education
For more than a century, scholars and policymakers have commented and debated on the purposes of higher education. These conversations reflect a combination of public and private goals, with an increasing emphasis on social mobility. The perspective of students, especially those currently enrolled and first-generation college goers for whom social mobility is likely salient, are often not part of these conversations. This study examines how first…
Beyond the Baccalaureate
This study examined how Latina/o undergraduate students’ graduate and professional degree aspirations change during college. Using longitudinal data from the Cooperative Institutional Research Program, a multinomial logistic regression analysis was conducted to examine factors associated with aspiring to earn a degree beyond a baccalaureate. Findings show that many students change their initial aspirations and several college experiences, such as…
Latina/o students as agents of change
Enhancing the civic engagement of Latina/os can promote the economic and political advancement of this racial/ethnic group. Employing a critical quantitative longitudinal design with data from UCLA’s Cooperative Institutional Research Program (CIRP), this study examines the factors that influence Latina/o college students’ social agency, which represents values associated with civic engagement. The study draws from Critical Race Theory, including…
Creating Hispanic-Serving Institutions (HSIs) and Emerging HSIs
A substantial proportion of Latina/o college students enroll at Hispanic-Serving Institutions (HSIs) and emerging HSIs. Utilizing data from the University of California, Los Angeles Cooperative Institutional Research Program, this study quantitatively examines the choice process of Latina/os enrolled at 4-year HSIs, emerging HSIs, and non-HSIs. Guided by traditional theories of college choice and community cultural wealth, this study examines how…
