Of all ethnic groups in the U.S., Indian students experience the most difficulty in obtaining a degree. A host of strategies and policies have been implemented by well-meaning administrators to decrease attrition, yet these ideas have often failed to make any significant difference in whether Indian students graduate. This volume is the result of a two-year study of Native American undergraduate students. It offers suggestions based on longitudinal data for empowering Native American and minority students at the organizational, curricular and classroom levels. By employing a critical framework, the book extends our thinking about minorities in academia, and provides insight into the pitfalls that occur with liberal solutions for retention and recruitment strategies.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Prairie Edge","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":46357345173589,"sku":"OPNA,TIERNEY-official-encouragement-institutional-discouragement","price":60.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0625\/9756\/2453\/files\/officialencouragement-web.jpg?v=1792003504","url":"https:\/\/prairieedge.com\/products\/out-of-print-book-official-encouragement-institutional-discouragement-minorities-in-acade-the-native-american-experience","provider":"Prairie Edge","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
