"The MIT Experience: Personal Perspectives on Race in a Predominantly White University" by Clarence G. Williams is the sixth chapter in What Makes Racial Diversity Work in Higher Education.

 

About the Book

The essays in What Makes Racial Diversity Work in Higher Education: Academic Leaders Present Successful Policies and Strategies establish the case for racial diversity, outline the challenges diversity offers the academic community, present examples of how some institutions have developed successful models of diversity, and discuss how the history of racial diversity has influenced aspects of diversity today. 

Frank W. Hale, Jr. -- known as the "Dean of Diversity" for his pioneering efforts in establishing Ohio State as one of the institutions graduating the most Black Ph.D.s -- gathers 22 leading scholars and administrators from around the country who describe the successful diversity programs they have developed.
