This chapter addresses issues of race and social identity that can affect the academic success and educational attainment of students from various backgrounds, races, and ethnicities. It begins with a description of the historical view of higher education with a focus on underrepresented populations and the effect of lasting discriminatory practices.

The chapter asserts that teacher expectations have a powerful influence on students' thoughts, behaviors, and ultimate success in school.
