Ramos, PA-C, Susan Hawkins, PA-C, Mark Hertweck, PA-C Objectives Describe how diversity in the classroom, including racial and ethnic diversity, enhances the educational experience of all students Identify the key legal and policy trends associated with access and diversity efforts in higher education Objectives Identify program-specific, diversityrelated policies that can advance the educational goals of PA programs Construct a program s diversity selfassessment survey and action plan Develop and implement a holistic approach to admissions at PA programs Why is diversity in the classroom important? Introduction The following is a summary of the statement of the American Council on Education entitled "On the Importance of Diversity in Higher Education PAEA is not an endorsing organization Background Diversity in higher education: Colleges and universities Public and private Large urban universities and small rural campuses Two-year community colleges, Graduate and professional programs Undergraduate education 1
2 Background Statement This collective diversity is one of the great strengths of America's higher education system Everyone agrees that diversity in student bodies, faculties, and staff is important to fulfill their primary mission: providing a quality education The public is entitled to know why institutions believe so strongly that racial and ethnic diversity should be one factor among the many considered in admissions and hiring Reason #1 Enriches the educational experience We learn from experiences, beliefs, and perspectives different from our own This is best taught in richly diverse intellectual and social environments Reason #2 Promotes personal growth Challenges stereotyped preconceptions Encourages critical thinking Helps students learn to communicate effectively with people of varied backgrounds Strengthens communities and the workplace Reason #3 Prepares students to become good citizens Fosters mutual respect and teamwork Helps build communities whose members are judged by the quality of their character and their contributions Reason #4 Enhances economic competitiveness Sustaining the nation's prosperity require us to make effective use of the talents and abilities of all our citizens in work settings that bring together individuals from diverse backgrounds and cultures 2
3 Conclusion Achieving diversity does not require quotas or warrants admission of unqualified applicants It does require that we continue to be able to reach out and make a conscious effort to build healthy and diverse learning environments Key Legal and Policy Trends Rationale for a New Policy Minority health care providers deliver disproportionate care to minority populations Racial-ethnic concordance of patient and provider result in improved communication, trust, and patient satisfaction Rationale for a New Policy Patients prefer providers who share their own cultural, linguistic, and racial backgrounds Institute of Medicine recommends increased provider diversity as an action aimed at minimizing or eliminating health disparities Rationale for a New Policy Underrepresented student diversity: Can result in an improved educational experience for all students Could reduce or eliminate health care disparities Underrepresented student diversity: Is the only rationale for race conscious admissions policies that has been accepted by the supreme court Must be applied to each individual 3
4 Admit a group of students who individually and collectively are among the most capable Substantial promise for success in school Strong likelihood of succeeding in practice Contributing to the wellbeing of others Mix of students who will respect and learn from each other Focus on academic ability coupled with a flexible assessment of applicants : Talents Experiences Potential to contribute to the learning of those around them Evaluate each applicant based on all information available on file, including: Personal statement Letters of recommendations Essay describing the ways in which the applicant will contribute to life and diversity Even the highest possible scores do not guarantee admission nor does a low score automatically disqualify an applicant Policy requires admissions officials to look beyond grades and test scores to other criteria that are important to the institution s educational objectives The policy does not restrict the types of diversity contributions eligible for substantial weight in the admissions process, but instead recognizes many possible bases for diversity admissions By enrolling a critical mass of [underrepresented] minority students, the institution seeks to ensure their ability to make unique contributions to the character of the institution 4
