Race on Campus

Race On Campus is available
from Harvard Education Press at
harvardeducationpress.org.

TS: Much of your book looks at areas of higher education like
admissions, classroom performance, graduation rates, the
Greek letter organizations, etc. What are some parallels you
see for underrepresented minority students in those areas and
their student housing experience?
Park: The book really challenges the misconception that
students of color pervasively self-segregate. In reality, it's
really white students who tend to self-segregate through
organizations like Greek life. In reality, students of color
have the highest rates of cross-racial engagement, including
students who participate in ethnic student organizations.
Housing can support both same-race interactions and
cross-racial interaction. Interracial roommate pairings often
need extra support, but they are generally linked with some
positive outcomes. Same-race roommate pairings or, say,
ethnic-themed residence halls can help support students
of color on predominantly white campuses. I don't think
these things are mutually exclusive. Students could live with
a random roommate pairing one year and choose to get a
theme hall experience another year; it's not an either/or
situation. The important thing is that students have some
environment where they're experiencing diversity. Housing
educators can also encourage white students to support
organizations and events held by students of color and cultural/ethnic student organizations, and these things can be
part of community building for a residence hall.

T

he book really
challenges the

misconception that students
of color pervasively
self-segregate. In reality,
it's really white students who
tend to self-segregate through
organizations like Greek life.

TS: There are a number of studies showing that minority students are often less likely to rate the overall experience of their
first college term positively, more likely to feel overwhelmed,
and less likely to feel emotionally prepared. What strategies or
programs would you recommend that housing organizations
consider to address those issues?
