Becoming Hispanic-Serving Institutions
Opportunities for Colleges and Universities
In Becoming Hispanic-Serving Institutions, Gina Ann Garcia explores how institutions are serving Latinx students, both through traditional and innovative approaches. Drawing on empirical data collected over two years at three HSIs, Garcia adopts a counternarrative approach to highlight the ways that HSIs are reframing what it means to serve Latinx college students. She questions the extent to which they have been successful in doing this while exploring how those institutions grapple with the tensions that emerge from confronting traditional standards and measures of success for postsecondary institutions.
Laying out what it means for these three extremely different HSIs, Garcia also highlights the differences in the way each approaches its role in serving Latinxs. Incorporating the voices of faculty, staff, and students, Becoming Hispanic-Serving Institutions asserts that HSIs are undervalued, yet reveals that they serve an important role in the larger landscape of postsecondary institutions.
About the Author
Reviews
"This is a groundbreaking narrative on HSIs in American higher education. It expertly captures the complex issues HSIs face, including the evolution of their identities as Hispanic-"Serving" Institutions. A must-read for anyone interested in better understanding the essential role that HSIs play in advancing Hispanic educational success and America's future."—Antonio Flores, President, Hispanic Association of Colleges and Universities
"Dr. Garcia provides an in-depth analysis and evaluation defining, in addition to demographics, what it means to become an HSI: taking the challenge head on and identifying the strength of HSIs and the important role they play in educating Latinx students and the underserved. The vitality and viability of our nation is anchored in educating this new majority."—Mildred García, President, American Association of State Colleges and Universities
"This book brings readers inside the world of HSIs. It disrupts conventional perspectives about institutional performance and expands considerations of how HSIs advance equity in US higher education. It will quickly become essential reading for anyone seeking to better understand these institutions and the students who attend them."—Anne-Marie Nuñez, The Ohio State University, coeditor of Hispanic-Serving Institutions: Advancing Research and Transformative Practice
"As the largest minority-serving institution type, HSIs are at once ubiquitous and yet often overlooked. Gina Garcia unpacks the history, organizational cultures, and counterstories of HSIs to bring these critical institutions into full view while at the same time interrogating just what it means to truly serve Latinx students."—Lorelle Espinosa, Vice President for Research, American Council on Education
"As the first to explore Hispanic-Serving Institutions based on actual case studies, Garcia describes not only what is, but also what can be the tremendous potential for institutions that do the nation's work in educating a diverse population. Institutional leaders will find insights and guidance in advancing equity goals."—Sylvia Hurtado, University of California, Los Angeles
