Employing the institutional action framework, this study finds that Title V grants and expenditures in academic support and student services at 4-year Hispanic-Serving Institutions (HSI) are positively associated with educational attainment of Latinxs. Future research should investigate HSIs expenditures in instruction and their association with academic achievement. HSIs must strengthen their advocacy for Latinx students and pressure policy leaders for continued funding to reinforce their role in the educational attainment of Latinxs.

This critical qualitative study explores Hispanic-serving institutions’ (HSIs) pursuit of racialized federal funds and theorizes the connection between grant seeking and servingness at HSIs. Specifically, the study’s guiding research question was: Why do HSIs pursue racialized Title V funding? Based on interviews with 23 institutional actors at 12 HSIs, including public Hispanic-serving community colleges and both public and private 4-year institutions, the findings suggest that HSIs vie for Title V grants for assorted and, at times, conflicting reasons. Specifically, they seek this racialized funding to (a) pool money, (b) address broad-based institutional needs, (c) signal legitimacy, and (d) support all students. Importantly, some of the reasons have little to do with immediately serving students generally or Latinx students more specifically. Thus, I argue that in their race-evasive pursuit of Title V funds, many HSIs capitalize on their Latinx students, rendering serving into $erving and ghosting the “H” and “S” in HSIs.

Few studies have investigated the usefulness of internships at Hispanic Serving Institutions (HSI) where internships can have major financial and time-related costs. Focusing on a 4-year public HSI, this study examines differences between internship and non-internship students and changes across the semester for development in a range of areas. A structured internship appears to have some value, including increased interaction with faculty outside of the classroom, and confidence in verbally expressing ideas and class presentations.

This study examines the ways campus artifacts communicate Asian American and Pacific Islander (AAPI)- and Latinx-servingness at dually designated Asian American and Native American Pacific Islander-Serving Institutions (AANAPISIs) and Hispanic-Serving Institutions (HSIs). Using critical ethnographic methods, the researchers collected data at three AANAPISI- HSIs regionally concentrated in a western state. Findings from this study reveal that the campus environments of the three institutions were in a state of flux and are captured through two interconnected themes that emerged from the data: striving to become and undermining progress towards becoming. This study has implications for understanding how AANAPISI-HSIs communicate AAPI- and Latinx-servingness through campus artifacts.
