5.4 RHE Garcia and Morgan on Segmented Governance at HSIs

Hopkins Press Podcasts

About
Today on the podcast, we talk with education scholars Gina Ann Garcia and Demetri L. Morgan about their recent article for Review of Higher Education, entitled “Mission-Based vs. Enrollment-Based Institutions: Segmented Governance at a Catholic Hispanic Serving Institution (HSI)”

This article explores the role of governing boards of Hispanic Serving Institutions in advancing “servingness” — in other words, the embodiment of an identity for serving Latines, and the authors study this through the lens of the ways trustees at one Catholic Hispanic Serving Institution make sense of their organization’s identity. Garcia and Morgan conclude with their recommendation that HSIs trustees must understand their institutions as unique, and that governing boards have a distinct role in influencing “servingness.”

The Review of Higher Education is one of our #S2O #OpenAccess journals, so this article, along with all of the issues from this volume year of the Review of Higher Education is free for everyone to read at Project MUSE.
