“whitenessbeyond(just)whitepeople”(TenishaTevis,MelvinWhitehead,Zachary
Foste,andAntonioDuran),andcritical quantitativemethods(SamMuseus).Other
authors apply an equity lens to such topics as faculty development (Milagros
Castillo-Montoya, Liza Ann Bolitzer, and Sylk Sotto-Santiago), governance
(Demetri Morgan, Raquel Ball, and Felecia Commodore), and prestige seeking
(Desiree Zerquera). Other chapters consider fundamental principles, like academic
freedom (Neal Hutchens and Frank Fernandez) and processes, including criminal
justice(AdrianHuerta),transfer(CatherineHartman),pathwaysofPhDstudentsto
theprofessoriate(DavidFeldon,AnnieWofford,andJenniferBlaney),andcampus
carry (Patricia Somers, Zach Taylor, and Kelly Soucy). Each chapter offers a
comprehensive review of research findings on the selected topic, critiques the
research literature in terms of its conceptual and methodological rigor, and offers

Sadly, one author, Gabriel R. Serna, Assistant Professor atMichigan State Univer-
sity, passed away in August 2022. Associate Editor Marvin Titus and I had hoped
that thisvolumewouldhavebenefitedfrom Dr.Serna’sexpertise onhigher educa-
tion economics, finance, and policy. A first-generation, Hispanic college student,
Dr.Sernawascommittedtoadvancinghighereducationaccessandopportunityfor
students from marginalized groups. This volume is dedicated in memory of
Dr.Serna.
