Abstract

Ogbu reflects on the experiences of underrepresented populations in higher education by highlighting the process of cultural inversion. This process rejects assimilation opportunities to develop academically and occupationally due to historical social bias. Without the support of faculty, students from underrepresented groups are often left barren without the proper social and academic skills to contribute to society effectively. Many scholars have stressed the importance of underrepresented student leadership. Within this process, underrepresented students are allowed integration into the culture of higher education and can be properly trained for the task of working towards being a part of the global workforce.
