This article will be published. This is not a homework assignment. The article will be heavily edited and published in an academic journal. The writer must be very capable of high level writing.
The subject must be well-researched. The topic is about Diversity, Equity and, Inclusion. The paper must present a strong argument for new groundbreaking practices than an institution of higher education can employ to not only promote Diversity, Equity, and Inclusion, but finally realize real world tangible results stemming from the articles views and recommendations. The article must touch on current challenges in Higher Education (colleges & universities in the United States) coupled with the challenges of the times–Covid19 and how institutions can use this period of rebuilding with particular focus on Diversity, Equity and Inclusion. Below are the guidelines for this article.
Consider the best practices in the field and the research that supports it. Ideas must be clear and easily understood.
For Views, we are particularly interested in articles that have a strong point of view and that give our readers recommendations for new policies, strategies, actions or ways of thinking about issues in higher education. We welcome pieces from all perspectives; we definitely have no party line. We are looking for articles that cover new ground, challenge current thinking, and explode myths. We also like first-hand narratives that explore, through the author’s experience, an issue or aspect of higher education in ways that would appeal to a wide range of readers.
We strongly prefer that authors be willing to cite their name and organization for publication, although we are occasionally willing to publish pieces anonymously to protect the author’s career or safety.
We don’t use footnotes but rather encourage authors to include links to sources of further information in their pieces. Our readers like seeing such source material, and we use it to help check the facts in each article we run. Sources must be peer-reviewed and credible–no internet junk.
