Issues of educational equity for hispanic students
Abstract/Contents
- Abstract
- Educational inequity persists for Hispanic students nationwide across both K-12 and higher education. Advancements in data collection and quality over the last two decades allow for new applications of panel-based research designs to study this topic. Each of the three papers of this dissertation applies a quasi-experimental research design to evaluate an educational issue of particular relevance to Hispanic students. Paper one shines a light on the demographic and educational effects of immigration enforcement partnerships established between the U.S. Department of Homeland Security and local law enforcement agencies. Paper two explores the effects of English Learner status on Special Education placement, paying particular attention to Spanish speaking English Learners. Paper three examines the effectiveness of a new federal grant aimed at increasing Hispanic student completions in science, technology, engineering and mathematics (STEM) fields in higher education. This dissertation adds novel evidence that can inform policy and practice affecting Hispanic students
