In Race on Campus, Julie J. Park argues that there are surprisingly pervasive and stubborn myths about diversity on college and university campuses, and that these myths obscure the notable significance and admirable effects that diversity has had on campus life.Based on her analysis of extensive research and data about contemporary students and campuses, Park counters these myths and explores their problematic origins. Among the major myths that she addresses are charges of pervasive self-segregation, arguments that affirmative action in college admissions has run its course and become counterproductive, related arguments that Asian Americans are poorly served by affirmative action policies, and suggestions that programs and policies meant to promote diversity have failed to address class-based disadvantages. In the course of responding to these myths, Park presents a far more positive and nuanced portrait of diversity and its place on American college campuses.At a time when diversity has become a central theme and goal of colleges and universities throughout the United States, Race on Campus offers a contemporary, research-based exploration of racial dynamics on today’s college campuses.

Rings and Ideals: Carus Mathematical Monographs, No. 8 is a comprehensive guide to the theory of rings and ideals written by Neal Henry McCoy. The book is designed to provide a thorough understanding of the topic, beginning with the basic definitions and properties of rings and ideals, and progressing to more advanced concepts such as modules, homomorphisms, and quotient rings.The book is divided into three parts, with the first part focusing on the theory of rings, including commutative and non-commutative rings, integral domains, and fields. The second part covers the theory of ideals, including prime and maximal ideals, and the third part focuses on the applications of rings and ideals in algebraic geometry and algebraic number theory.Throughout the book, the author provides numerous examples and exercises to help readers develop their understanding of the material. The book is intended for graduate students and researchers in mathematics, but it can also be used as a reference for advanced undergraduate courses in algebra. With its clear explanations and comprehensive coverage, Rings and Ideals is an essential resource for anyone interested in the theory of rings and ideals.Additional Editors Are Garrett Birkhoff, E. F. Beckenbach, J. L. Synge, And H. S. M. Coxeter.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.

Offering a new approach to institutional practices, this book describes evidence-based strategies to create a campus culture conducive to truly supporting all students. We are at a critical crossroads in higher education, where large numbers of low-income, racially minoritized, and first-generation college students – referred to in this book as "at-promise students" – are attending college in greater numbers than ever, yet access has not translated to significantly improved retention and graduation rates. This book, therefore, proposes a realignment of existing initiatives to create campus-wide support through a new model of coordination.The ideas presented in this book are the culmination of one of the largest studies of comprehensive college support programs for at-promise students. Chapters include illustrations of the key concepts and promising practices of the Promoting At-promise Student Success (PASS) Project, as well as guiding questions that can be used to facilitate conversations on campus. In this helpful resource, the authors address how student supports are delivered in validating ways, rather than focusing solely on what supports are offered, as has typically been the way institutions address the issues that at-promise students face.This book is intended to provide guidance and support to educators who want to be a part of changing how higher education supports at-promise students toward increased equity.

This book offers a bold and comprehensive vision for creating, leading, and sustaining experiential learning (EL) ecosystems on college campuses. Drawing on extensive interviews with EL experts and collaboratively written by eight seasoned professionals, it redefines EL not just as a learning method but as a dynamic ecosystem of people, practices, policies, and institutional structures. This crucial shift in perspective will empower educators and administrators to embrace the diversity of EL and leverage its strengths through cross-campus collaboration. Readers will find practical tools and actionable strategies to deepen their EL objectives, connect with allies across campus, and build a shared vision for the future of EL in U.S. higher education. Whether read sequentially or consulted for situational advice, this book serves as an essential resource for advancing sustainable and impactful EL practices.
