The book exploring the complexities of Hispanic-Serving Institutions (HSIs). The author examines how HSIs are often undervalued compared to predominantly white institutions, focusing on the role of race in shaping institutional hierarchies and practices. The book uses case studies of different HSIs to illustrate diverse approaches to serving Latinx students and argues for a re-evaluation of institutional effectiveness, moving beyond traditional metrics like graduation rates. It also advocates for policy changes to better support HSIs financially and increase their capacity to serve students effectively. Finally, the author proposes a framework for understanding HSI organizational identities and emphasizes the importance of culturally relevant practices and curricula.You can listen and download our episodes for free on more than 10 different platforms:https://linktr.ee/book_shelterGet the Book now from Amazon:https://www.amazon.com/Becoming-Hispanic-Serving-Institutions-Opportunities-Universities/dp/1421427370?&linkCode=ll1&tag=cvthunderx-20&linkId=3417f62c9f4f08fbe0e865acdc6616ea&language=en_US&ref_=as_li_ss_tlProduced by:https://www.podcaistudio.com/
