Smith has devoted her career to studying and fostering diversity in higher education. In \u003ci\u003eDiversity's Promise for Higher Education\u003c\/i\u003e, Smith brings together research from a wide variety of fields to propose a set of clear and realistic practices that will help colleges and universities locate diversity as a strategic imperative and pursue diversity efforts that are inclusive of the varied'and growing'issues apparent on campuses without losing focus on the critical unfinished business of the past.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eTo become more relevant to society, the nation, and the world, while remaining true to their core missions, colleges and universities must continue to see diversity'like technology'as central, not parallel, to their work. Indeed, looking at the relatively slow progress for change in many areas, Smith suggests that seeing diversity as an imperative for an institution's individual mission, and not just as a value, is the necessary lever for real institutional change. Furthermore, achieving excellence in a diverse society requires increasing institutional capacity for diversity'working to understand how diversity is tied to better leadership, positive change, research in virtually every field, student success, accountability, and more equitable hiring practices. \u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eIn this edition, which is aimed at administrators, faculty, researchers, and students of higher education, Smith emphasizes a transdisciplinary approach to the topic of diversity, drawing on an updated list of sources from a wealth of literatures and fields.
