Thinking About Race: The Salience of Racial Identity at Two- and Four-Year Colleges and the Climate for Diversity

Abstract

Racial identity salience is an important component of identity development that is associated with a number of educational outcomes. Using the Diverse Learning Environments Survey, this study identifies precollege and college experiences that contribute to a heightened salience of racial identity, and its relationship to perceptions of campus climate.
