One of nine themes that emerged from a multi-institutional qualitative study by Harper & Hurtado (2007) that also synthesized fifteen years of research about campus racial climates was: 

• "The Pervasiveness of Whiteness in Space, Curricula, and Activities: Beyond ethnic and multicultural centers on the five campuses, Asian American, Black, Latino, and Native American students found it difficult to identify other spaces on campus in which they felt shared cultural ownership. White interests were thought to be privileged over others, which many racial/ethnic minorities viewed as inconsistent with institutional claims of inclusiveness...Other participants also critiqued the isolation of ethnic culture to a single center, office, or academic major. Although Asian American students generally appeared to be as satisfied as their White peers, even they expressed a desire for greater cultural representation." (Harper & Hurtado, 2007, p.18)
   

"Hundreds of studies from our literature review verify that
racially diverse environments and cross-racial interactions can have a positive impact on academic and
intellectual development, on students' social-cognitive skills and personal development, civic
involvement, and on our national workforce and economy. And many studies concluded that the
diversity policy or practice being studied was effective in obtaining those benefits." (Taylor, Milem & Coleman, 2016, p. 8)
