Description
INTRODUCTION The U.S. population as a whole has seen a shift in demographics to increased minority representation. According to the 2005 census, the largest growth in the nation's population was attributed to Hispanics, up 21% from 2000. Not far behind were significant increases in the Asian population, up 19.2% from 2000 (Kronholz, 2006). Concomitant with the growing diversification of the general population, U.S. universities are educating a more diverse student population. According to the 2002 U.S. census, 17.5% of African Americans, 9.7% Hispanics, and 44% of Asian/Pacific Islanders hold a bachelor's degree (Ying, Lee, and Tsai, 2004).
