“International students who might not necessarily understand the cultural dynamics of groups different from theirs is an obstacle we would like to address on our campus,” said Dr. Sabab Sabbah of the Community College of Qatar.
Sabbah is optimistic that “conversations on equity are taking place but is much more needed internationally.” Administrators from one of the largest community college systems in the U.S. share the same sentiment.
Associate Vice Chancellor of Academic Affairs at the Maricopa Community Colleges system Dr. Samuel Dosumu discussed the need for more work to be done in the form of recruiting faculty, staff and administrators representative of the students they serve.
