Viewpoint by Dr. Gregory J. Vincent: vice president for diversity and community engagement at The University of Texas at Austin. He is both a professor of law and the W. K. Kellogg Professor of Community College Leadership in the Department of Educational Administration. The abysmal underrepresentation of men of color on college campuses is symptomatic of admissions processes, which have fallen under strict scrutiny. It is also indicative of the larger lack of research on, support for and access to higher education for young men of color. The reasons why this opportunity gap exists are myriad and important to identify. Even more crucial are effective solutions to this gap made possible through research and evidence-based practices. It is up to us to usher in a more positive trend in higher education, and, at The The University of Texas at Austin, we aim to lead that trend. #HigherEd #Diversity
