Anti-Racism Movement on Campus and Educational Leadership

Abstract

As literature and experience tells, educational leaders impact not only their organizations but ultimately the learning outcomes of a large portion of society's members. Unfortunately, a number of leaders at all levels especially on the campus level have created a demoralizing environment by discriminating and retaliating against certain employees of different ethnic groups. Most efforts to date to address racial equity and justice in higher education have fallen short of desired goals. This chapter employs using a conceptual framework of the anti-racism movement on university campuses and has a strong base of reliable, verifiable knowledge needed to foster evolution of educational leadership. The research for this narrative relied on scholars who can be viewed as a part or phase of discourse about addressing these acute problems in educational leadership.
