Digital Media Manager/Writer
Diverse: Issues In Higher Education stands alone as the only source of critical news, information and insightful commentary on the full range of issues concerning diversity in American higher education. Diverse began writing about diversity in higher education long before diversity and multiculturalism became a “hot button” issue. Today, our mission remains as true as it was over 29 years ago: to provide information that is honest, thorough and balanced. We seek, through traditional and nontraditional mediums, to be change agents and generate public policies that resolve inequities that still exist today. In fulfilling our mission, we believe we are helping to build the educational, cultural, social and economic structures necessary to allow every individual to reach his or her full potential, and thus contribute to the greater good of their community and the nation at-large.
With over a quarter century of experience covering education, Diverse is the only newsmagazine focusing on matters of access and opportunity for all in higher education. Its unparalleled coverage of such bread and butter issues as tenure, salary, faculty, student body, recruitment, retention and access and equity earned Diverse the 2002 Folio Award for best education publication in America. And as our communities have grown more diverse, so too has our editorial focus. Launched in 1984 as Black Issues In Higher Education, the magazine focused on the role and issues of African Americans in higher education. To accurately reflect the changing demographics, in 2005 we renamed the magazine Diverse: Issues In Higher Education, and expanded our coverage to address these bread and butter issues with the needs of African Americans, Asian Americans, Hispanics, American Indians, Disabled, Senior, L.G.B.T. and other underrepresented groups in higher education in mind.

Tuition-Free Education: Presidential Candidates Weigh In
Law Street Media
During the recent Democratic debate in Charleston, South Carolina, front-runner Hillary Clinton, Vermont Senator Bernie Sanders, and former Maryland Governor Martin O’Malley each became increasingly combative with one another when discussing their positions on important issues for voters. With the Iowa caucuses quickly approaching, these debates are becoming more crucial as voters begin to sift through many of the issues discussed including gun control, healthcare, Wall Street, immigration, and foreign policy. Although minimally discussed during the debate, tuition-free education may become a campaign defining issue. Many candidates have tuition and debt relief initiatives on their platforms, but what exactly is tuition-free higher education and who supports it? Keep reading to learn more.

Law Street Media
As primary season heats up, the candidates still remaining in the presidential race have begun fine-tuning their higher education plans. Candidates from both sides of the aisle have spoken about how they would change, revamp, and, in some cases, fix higher education. But aside from Marco Rubio, only those from the Democratic party had rolled out specific plans to address rising tuition costs and astronomical student debt prior to the first primary contest in Iowa. While we evaluate who’s still left in the race, let’s begin to look at the remaining candidates’ positions on higher education. Keep reading to learn more.

The Role of HBCUs in Preparing Students for Graduate School at PWIs
Huffington post
In recent years, a national debate has intensified on the continued relevance of Historically Black Colleges and Universities (HBCUs). Critics often highlight the shortcomings of HBCU’s while failing to offer substantive strategies for improvement or to recognize their critical contributions to communities of color. Specifically, evidence of HBCU success in facilitating positive student outcomes is well documented. For example, the most recent Gallup-USA Funds Graduates Report shows that HBCUs are successfully providing Black graduates with a more fulfilling college experience than other institutional types. The article, Historically Black Colleges and Universities: Their Aspirations and Accomplishments, shows that HBCUs also prepare and send more Black students to graduate and professional schools than non-HBCUs.

If Supreme Court ends affirmative action, California shows how to move forward

Affirmative action is under threat. In recent months, opponents have won victory after victory in their decades-long fight. And if Brett Kavanaugh is confirmed, it will likely lead to the most conservative U.S. Supreme Court in decades, ready to strike down affirmative action as we know it today.

Why California Needs Specific Educational Data on Asian Americans, Native Hawaiians, and Pacific Islanders
Scholars Strategy Network
It is no secret that unequal access to education produces racial disparities in the United States – and the state of California is no exception. Many studies document how California’s public higher education system struggles to reduce disparities in college access and success for black and Latino students. Yet conversations about race and educational equity sometimes overlook the Asian Americans, Native Hawaiians, and Pacific Islanders who account for one in every seven people in the state. A persistent myth overstates the performance of Asian American students. Despite being people of color, they are often pigeonholed as “model minorities” who have figured out ways to overcome systemic barriers, pick themselves up by their bootstraps, and achieve educational success above and beyond other ethnic groups. However, this misleading model minority mythology has been fueled by mishandled and misleading educational data. We cannot produce meaningful change unless we get the data right. - See more at: http://www.scholarsstrategynetwork.org/brief/why-california-needs-specific-educational-data-asian-americans-native-hawaiians-and-pacific#sthash.vLK4EmgD.dpuf

The proposal aims to make two years of community college free for responsible students and highlights the need for two-year institutions to strengthen their student success programs. On the heels of the launch of Heads Up America, an independent campaign to raise awareness on the significance of community colleges, I sat down with President Oakley, who helped launch The Long Beach Promise with former president of California State University Long Beach F. King Alexander, and Long Beach Unified School District Superintendent Christopher J. Steinhauser. The initiative is designed to improve college preparation, access and completion for locals. Among other guarantees, the Long Beach Promise offers a free year of tuition to Long Beach high school students at Long Beach City College. Upon community college completion, students are then offered guaranteed admission to CSU-Long Beach. Most recently, the City of Long Beach became involved by offering internships to students in this unique pipeline. I discussed how President Oakley’s academic and professional career path has shaped his view on the prospect of free community college for responsible students.
Tuition-Free Education: Presidential Candidates Weigh In
Law Street Media
During the recent Democratic debate in Charleston, South Carolina, front-runner Hillary Clinton, Vermont Senator Bernie Sanders, and former Maryland Governor Martin O’Malley each became increasingly combative with one another when discussing their positions on important issues for voters. With the Iowa caucuses quickly approaching, these debates are becoming more crucial as voters begin to sift through many of the issues discussed including gun control, healthcare, Wall Street, immigration, and foreign policy. Although minimally discussed during the debate, tuition-free education may become a campaign defining issue. Many candidates have tuition and debt relief initiatives on their platforms, but what exactly is tuition-free higher education and who supports it? Keep reading to learn more.

The Role of HBCUs in Preparing Students for Graduate School at PWIs
Huffington post
In recent years, a national debate has intensified on the continued relevance of Historically Black Colleges and Universities (HBCUs). Critics often highlight the shortcomings of HBCU’s while failing to offer substantive strategies for improvement or to recognize their critical contributions to communities of color. Specifically, evidence of HBCU success in facilitating positive student outcomes is well documented. For example, the most recent Gallup-USA Funds Graduates Report shows that HBCUs are successfully providing Black graduates with a more fulfilling college experience than other institutional types. The article, Historically Black Colleges and Universities: Their Aspirations and Accomplishments, shows that HBCUs also prepare and send more Black students to graduate and professional schools than non-HBCUs.
If Supreme Court ends affirmative action, California shows how to move forward
The Sacramento Bee
Affirmative action is under threat. In recent months, opponents have won victory after victory in their decades-long fight. And if Brett Kavanaugh is confirmed, it will likely lead to the most conservative U.S. Supreme Court in decades, ready to strike down affirmative action as we know it today.
Why California Needs Specific Educational Data on Asian Americans, Native Hawaiians, and Pacific Islanders
Scholars Strategy Network
It is no secret that unequal access to education produces racial disparities in the United States – and the state of California is no exception. Many studies document how California’s public higher education system struggles to reduce disparities in college access and success for black and Latino students. Yet conversations about race and educational equity sometimes overlook the Asian Americans, Native Hawaiians, and Pacific Islanders who account for one in every seven people in the state. A persistent myth overstates the performance of Asian American students. Despite being people of color, they are often pigeonholed as “model minorities” who have figured out ways to overcome systemic barriers, pick themselves up by their bootstraps, and achieve educational success above and beyond other ethnic groups. However, this misleading model minority mythology has been fueled by mishandled and misleading educational data. We cannot produce meaningful change unless we get the data right. - See more at: http://www.scholarsstrategynetwork.org/brief/why-california-needs-specific-educational-data-asian-americans-native-hawaiians-and-pacific#sthash.vLK4EmgD.dpuf
