| 520 | |a This paper addresses the question of how to infuse multiculturalism and diversity into American higher education curriculum. It argues that mutliculturalism is not a fad, but a dynamic framework that values the complex diversity of America's pluralistic society and institutes innovative avenues for shared human interactions. The infusion of multiculturalism into higher education enhances the quality of education and exposes students to previously ignored or under-represented ideas and points of view. To achieve a multicultural curriculum, educators need to address: (1) test usage and interpretation for recruitment, retention, and graduation; (2) responses to affirmative action regulations; (3) culturally-sensitive instruction; (4) community involvement; and (5) paradigm shift in society and higher education. A sample course syllabus and a topical discussion outline, both of which include a multicultural emphasis, are appended. (Contains 13 references.) (MDM) | ||
