作为种族化的机构，为西班牙裔服务的机构在促进白人化的组织和政策结构中教育了很大一部分少数族裔学生。本研究考虑了机构层面的多样性、公平和包容（DEI）计划是如何根据佛罗里达州、加利福尼亚州和纽约州的州级DEI政策而制定的，在为西班牙裔服务的社区学院（HSCCs）中构建交叉多样性和种族化拉丁裔身份的叙事。运用批判性话语分析，将批判性种族理论和拉特crit结合在一起，该分析扩展了对hscc的DEI政策实施的考虑。研究结果说明了与定义交叉多样性和人口数据相关的国家层面政策、政策实施指导和机构层面话语的相互关联性。此外，它捕捉到缺乏对拉丁裔学生的种族构成的关注，以及对HSI状态的有限表征。本研究强调了州级DEI政策的实施如何促进或消除拉丁裔学生之间的交叉性考虑。
As racialized institutions, Hispanic-serving institutions educate large portions of racially minoritized students within organizational and policy structures that advance Whiteness. This research considers how the institution-level diversity, equity, and inclusion (DEI) plans, produced in response to state-level DEI policies in Florida, California, and New York, construct narratives of intersectional diversity and a racialized Latinx identity at Hispanic-serving community colleges (HSCCs). Engaging critical discourse analysis, drawing together critical race theory and LatCrit, the analysis expands the consideration of DEI policy implementation at HSCCs. The findings illustrate the interconnectedness of state-level policy, policy implementation guidance, and institution-level discourse related to defining intersectional diversity and demographic data. Furthermore, it captures a lack of attention to racial composition among Latinx students and the limited characterization of HSI status. This study highlights how the implementation of state-level DEI policies can advance or erase the considerations of intersectionality among Latinx students.
