Women are outnumbering men on college<br />
campuses across the nation by a ratio of 57<br />
percent to 43 percent. In an attempt to balance<br />
out the ratio of men to women, some<br />
colleges have attempted to tip the scales by<br />
giving men an advantage during the admissions<br />
process. This program will explore the<br />
legal and ethical issues of gender-conscious<br />
affirmative action plans in higher education.<br />

Although national statistics about the level of<br />
sexual assault among college students show<br />
high incidence, these crimes remain underreported<br />
and the systems set up for redress<br />
remain underutilized. As part of a self study<br />
and review of systems, one campus undertook<br />
a mixed methods study to ask women<br />
students about their perceived roadblocks<br />
to pursuing complaints of sexual assaults to<br />
campus and community officials. Join us to<br />
learn about what we discovered and resulting<br />
action steps.<br />

A great deal of research in higher education<br />
examines the experiences of students from<br />
minority racial groups and their interactions<br />
with individuals from the majority racial<br />
group. However, limited research exists<br />
on how students from the majority racial<br />
group (i.e., White students) experience race<br />
and culture, particularly in the context of<br />
minority racial environments and culture.<br />
This session examines issues of racial identity,<br />
culture, privilege, and social status for White<br />
students who attend Historically Black Colleges<br />
and Universities (HBCUs).<br />

Retaining, and Graduating<br />
Underrepresented and<br />
Disadvantaged Students<br />

Program Presenter: Kenyon Bonner,<br />

Black male retention and graduation rates<br />
continue to lag behind those of other peer<br />
groups. While many programs designed to<br />
mitigate the risk to Black males have been<br />
successful, many have struggled to develop<br />
successful strategies that yield measureable<br />
and successful outcomes. Now in its fourth<br />
year, the University of Pittsburgh’s Reaching<br />
Inside Your Soul for Excellence (RISE)<br />
Mentoring Program has been successful in<br />
producing measurable differences between<br />
students who complete the program’s requirements<br />
and those who do not.<br />

Assessment of institutional effectiveness and<br />
quality assurance are expected in all areas of<br />
higher education, including the contexts of<br />
campus recreation and intercollegiate athletics.<br />
This institute is intended to offer senior<br />
administrators, practitioners, and researchers<br />
with an assessment framework as well as<br />
strategies and practical tools for developing<br />
a culture of evidence and improvement. A<br />
panel of national leaders will discuss what is<br />
known about how participation in campus<br />
recreation and intercollegiate athletics<br />
impacts students, as well as identify key<br />
issues and problems that need exploration to<br />
inform evidence and improvement efforts.<br />

As colleges and universities work in a global<br />
society, service-learning is becoming more<br />
focused on how to address the needs of the<br />
greater community, such as when natural<br />
disasters strike. Student affairs professionals<br />
play an important role in determining how<br />
to support students as they make meaning<br />
of disasters and find ways to address disasters<br />
through service-learning. This program<br />
will draw from examples from a graduate<br />
service-learning course focused on creating a<br />
meaningful service-learning response to the<br />
earthquake in Haiti.<br />
