Models of Leadership Institutes for Increasing the Number of Top Latino Administrators in Higher Education

Abstract

The percentage of Latinos in top university administration lags far behind that of the nation overall. How can we increase their numbers? One answer is leadership institutes. This paper examines these institutes in general, as well those addressing minorities, with an eye to presenting models that may aid future Latino leadership institutes. It explains the need for these programs and describes four long-established institutes and four more addressing minorities.
