To remedy these conditions, the document recommends various actions: universities collaborative on ethnic studies programs leading to a major or minor in teacher education programs; analyze library holdings and increase line item in budget for multicultural audiovisual materials; create web pages to attract potential minority employees for leadership positions; provide leadership development training for minorities; insure adequate minority representation on all governing entities; and subsidize and provide supervision of crosscultural experience in residence hall settings.
