Community Colleges Often Lead the Way In Diversity Efforts

We know that diversity is a major goal in these states. The result of these priorities is the development of well-qualified and talented minority leaders for the administrative positions now being vacated by those retiring.

It is also important to recognize the strong initiatives provided by individual colleges in providing leadership development for their own faculty and staff. Greenville Technical College (S.C.), Guilford Technical Community College (N.C.), Daytona Beach Community College (Fla.) and others have provided the funds and the direction for leadership development within their own institutions, again resulting in the development of well-qualified candidates that embody the very diversity sought by the institutions in current and future hiring.

— Dr. Walter G. Bumphus is A.M. Aikin Regents Chair and Chair-Elect of the Department of Educational Administration at the University of Texas at Austin. Dr. John E. Roueche is Sid W. Richardson Regents Chair and Director of the Community College Leadership Program at the University of Texas at Austin.
