“…Latinx students attending an institution that recognizes their unique characteristics and ways of knowing are likely to graduate students who are more socially and critically conscious, who become engaged civically, who vote in elections, who volunteer in their communities, and who ultimately give back to their alma mater in monetary and non-monetary ways, all of which are outcomes that most postsecondary institutions desire. HSIs must be more intentional about providing curricula, programs, and services that center the experiences, histories, and ways of knowing of Latinx students (Garcia & Okhidoi, 2015).…”

“…Staff and administrators at HSIs may also create campus cultures that foster success for Latinx students (Espinoza & Espinoza, 2012;Garcia & Ramirez, 2015). Some HSIs incorporate advising models that are culturally relevant (Garcia & Okhidoi, 2015) while others enact student support programs that validate Latinx students (Martinez & Gonzales, 2015). There are also numerous examples of faculty at HSIs that utilize culturally relevant pedagogy in their classrooms, recognizing the unique ways of knowing of Latinx students (Cervantes, 2015;Kiasatpour & Lasley, 2008;Lara & Lara, 2012;Núñez, Murakami-Ramalho, & Cuero, 2010).…”

“…Others have expanded and highlighted these factors within an HSI context (Garcia, 2016;Garcia & Okhidoi, 2015;Torres & Zerquera, 2012). Guided by these propositions, I reviewed mission and value statements, strategic plans, websites for programs that support minoritized students (low income, first-generation, Students of Color), and news articles about the institution's status as an HSI.…”

What Does it Mean to be Latinx-serving? Testing the Utility of the Typology of HSI Organizational Identities

While scholars agree that enrolling a large percentage of Latinx students is not enough for postsecondary institutions to be considered "Latinx-serving," there continues to be a debate about what it means for institutions to have an organizational identity for serving this population. The Typology of HSI Organizational Identities is a guiding framework that suggests there are multiple ways for an institution to serve Latinx students, and thus multiple "types" of Hispanic-Serving Institutions (HSIs). The typology considers academic and non-academic outcomes for Latinx students as well as the institution's ability to provide a culture that enhances their racial/ethnic experience. In this study, I used the typology to classify four HSIs and two emerging HSIs in the Midwest, a geographic area in the United States with a growing population of Latinxs and HSIs. I drew on secondary data from the Integrated Postsecondary Education Data System (IPEDS) and primary data from institutional websites. In doing so, I sought to test the utility of the typology for classifying institutions for research, practice, and policy, and found that it is a useful tool for looking at how postsecondary institutions may serve Latinx students beyond enrollment. Implications for research, practice, and policy are discussed.

“…HSIs are defined as two-year and fouryear institutions with at least 25 percent Latinx undergraduate students (Núñez, Hurtado, & Calderón Galdeano, 2015), and the number of HSIs has now reached over 400 across 21 states and Puerto Rico (Excelencia in Education, 2016). As a result, HSIs enroll notable numbers of Latinx students, but it is unclear to what degree or how they actually serve this student population (Contreras et al, 2008;Garcia & Okhidoi, 2015). As such, the HSI designation has been called a "manufactured identity" (Contreras et al, 2008), suggesting that this designation is not authentic nor universally understood.…”

This study examines the institutional histories of Loma Verde University and Azul City University and their development over time into Hispanic-Serving Institutions. Utilizing a theoretical framework of transformational change, we focus on various aspects of these institutions, including curriculum, the allocation of physical spaces, and the creation of programs that specifically serve Latinx students. The study makes use of archival documents that tell the story of the struggles at each institution to cultivate a campus that addressed the needs of Latinx students to promote their long-term academic success. The findings suggest that these institutions were on paths that were heavily influenced by their local contexts and student population; that the transformational process to serving Latinx students was long and faced setbacks; and that their successes came in different forms. These conclusions indicate that the histories of Hispanic-Serving Institutions may be as rich and diverse as the Latinx population itself, furthering the notion that these institutions are unique among other types of Minority-Serving Institutions.
