In Short: The size and racial/ethnic mix of students coming to U.S. campuses is shifting rapidly. The growth of Latinx high school graduates is challenging traditionally white campuses and HBCUs. The stories from two states and the radical rethinking they went through are told. Shifting strategies in three states for HBCUs are outlined. Principles for planners for a sustainable future are reviewed.

In Short Asian American students reported increasingly hostile racial climates, with misinformation and anti-Asian sentiments being spread on social media, other students physically shunning Asian students, and Asian internationals experiencing restrictions and fears of surveillance. Asian and Asian Americans remain on the fringe when it comes to higher education diversity, equity, and inclusion (DEI) discussions and efforts, under the stereotypical assumption that they are “model minorities.” Among the reasons there may be less attention on campus racial climates for Asian Americans is based a narrow and insufficient focus on compositional diversity—numerical representation of groups in higher education. A dynamic, multicontexual approach that incorporates faculty, staff, and students in better supporting Asian and Asian Americans in higher education is needed.

In Short This article presents a model of shared equity leadership that helps transform campus cultures so that students, faculty, staff, and administrators from all backgrounds experience greater inclusion and ameliorates equity gaps. The key to success is the combination of personal- and organizational-level changes that create a critical mass of employees dedicated to the work of diversity, equity, and inclusion. The findings also showed that each faculty, staff and administrator must first turn inwards and do their own personal work in order to then turn outwards to transform their institutions. Organizational-level changes (such as hiring diverse leaders, revising reward and incentive structures, and expanding accountability systems to include a focus on DEI) were simultaneously enacted as campus change agents worked on their personal journeys.

Abstract In Short EDUCAUSE’s Top 10 IT issues identify and describe technology’s contributions to higher education’s most strategic opportunities and pressing priorities. In 2022, institutional leaders are developing a shared, technology-enabled transformational vision and strategy for the institution. Student success is another major area of attention and investment for technology and data in 2022. Institutions are embracing students as primary stakeholders and optimizing their offerings to meet students’ needs. The pandemic jump-started digital transformation in higher education. Institutions are using technology to reshape institutional business models and culture to anticipate and serve the current and emergent needs of learners, communities, and employers.

In Short The world is experiencing a democratic recession, and in the United States, core democratic beliefs are under attack. As a key social organization, academic institutions have a central role in the protection of democracy. Boards, presidents, faculty, and students have the ability—and responsibility—to protect and advance democracy. A course in American government that interrogates the underpinnings of democracy and the support of voting rights for everyone in the academic and local community is essential.

One of my most recent activities as editor was to read back across all the articles in Change over the last 50 years to identify what Change readers are excited about. I wanted to share a couple of key trends. First, Change readers enjoy visionary and conceptual articles that describe a new way to think about higher education—real paradigm changing ideas. They also prefer articles on teaching and learning compared to most other topics and longer, featurelength articles compared to shorter columns. As a result, we will be continuing a trend started by previous editors to include a greater number of feature articles. This preference bucks current trends in other written media, where readers prefer ever-shorter articles. And Change readers enjoy editorials that engage in more perspectivetaking rather than summarizing and threading together the articles in that issue, especially as readers increasingly access Change online and not via the printed magazine, where all of the articles are physically bundled together. As a result, I will be moving towards more “editorialized” editorials, so that they respond to readers’ interests and mode of reading the magazine.

Creating Space for Democracy: Dialogue and Deliberation in Higher Education, edited by Nicholas V. Longo and Timothy J. Shaffer. Stylus Press, 2019. 342 pages. $39.95(paperback). Also available as an e-book. Democracy is in the news—or, more precisely, threats to democracy are in the news, including the violence of Russia’s invasion of Ukraine in 2022 and the January 6, 2021 attack on the U.S. Capitol by rioters hoping to disrupt the counting of electoral votes from the 2020 presidential election. Commentators in the United States have long seen additional threats to democracy that are arising from our extreme political polarization, growing income inequality, and continuing racial injustice, which directly affect our colleges and universities as well. The message seems to be getting through: we are realizing that liberal democracy can no longer be taken for granted. But what can higher education do about it?

In Short The pandemic helped to reveal issues campuses should address, including inequities (e.g., lack of support for nontenure-track faculty) that campuses may not be focusing on due to being reactive to the crisis. Reflection on how the last 2 years shaped campuses can lead to campuses learning that they can change patterns of inequity that the pandemic revealed. Key areas of consideration include the value of faculty roles; importance of professional development; expanding responsibility for diversity, equity, and inclusion work to more groups on campus; increasing hybrid work; enhancing online learning and student support; addressing mental health issues; and attending to the emotional labor burden of faculty and staff of color.
