MSIs across the globe: laying the foundation for future research

Toward a Multidimensional Conceptual Framework for Understanding “Servingness” in Hispanic-Serving Institutions: A Synthesis of the Research

“…In addition to the directions described above, the framework for HSIs outlined here might also provide a departure point for scholars of national and global MSIs to better operationalize dimensions and indicators of intentionality in these kinds of institutions, as they seek to identify how diverse MSIs can best serve groups that historically have been underserved and outright discriminated against by higher education institutions and systems. Moving forward, it is critical to situate such analyses appropriately in salient local, state, federal, national, or global contexts (Hallmark & Gasman, 2018).…”

“…Broadening the conceptualization of MSIs to encompass a global perspective, as MSIs exist on every continent in the world except for Antarctica, is therefore essential. In addition to those of racially and ethnically minoritized populations, global MSIs address the needs of Indigenous, linguistic, and religious minority populations (Hallmark & Gasman, 2018). Although research on international MSIs is limited, these institutions provide important access to postsecondary education in their respective regional and national contexts, and therefore merit further scholarship (Hallmark & Gasman, 2018).…”

Although research on international MSIs is limited, these institutions provide important access to postsecondary education in their respective regional and national contexts, and therefore merit further scholarship (Hallmark & Gasman, 2018). Notably, HSIs are quite diverse, encompassing nearly every type of institution, from 2-year to 4-year, rural to urban, public to private, and small to large (Núñez, Crisp, & Elizondo, 2016).…”

Call and response: A basic interpretive inquiry of the call to leadership of church-affiliated historically Black college and university presidents

“…Although the challenges mentioned earlier may impact higher education campuses, many of these challenges are incredibly complex for mission-driven institutions. These are institutions that serve students holding minoritized identities, are church affiliated, or single sex (Hallmark & Gasman, 2018). Higher education leadership teams must tackle additional challenges including underfunding by state governments (e.g., having little to no state support, being enrollment dependent, or having smaller endowments) and tepid support from private donors (Noel, 2016).…”
