Behind the Diversity Numbers uncovers how frequently used approaches to examine and understand race-related issues on college campuses can reinforce racism and inequality, rather than combat them. The book argues that educational leaders must look beyond quantitative metrics in order to develop institutional policies and practices that promote racial equality.

Based on nearly thirty years of data and research, this book will enhance how institutions, higher education agencies, and policy makers think about what should be done to reduce racial inequality and create diverse and equitable campuses.
