Commentary: Community College Campuses Provide an Accurate Reflection of Diversity: Last fall, Diverse ran an article that expressed my concern about the current lack of diversity, the lack of historical support for diversity and the lack of positive outcomes for diverse students in higher education. The column was written after attending conferences wherein neither those in attendance nor those being discussed reflected what should be the diverse landscape of higher education. Today, I write to you after the Association of Community College Trustees, or ACCT, annual congress that was held in Dallas in October. As disheartening as I found last year’s conferences, today I am filled with hope for those young people who attend some of our nation’s finest community colleges.
