ABSTRACT

This chapter focuses on Historically Black Colleges and Universities (HBCUs), followed by Hispanic-Serving Institutions (HSIs), Tribal Colleges and Universities (TCUs), Predominantly Black Institutions (PBIs), and Asian American and Native American Pacific Islander Serving Institutions (AANAPISIs). It examines research on leadership, particularly presidential leadership, at Minority-Serving Institutions (MSIs). Historically Black Colleges and Universities (HBCUs) are classified as educational institutions founded prior to 1964 to provide access to education for Blacks. These institutions were founded with the assistance of White philanthropists, the American Missionary Association, the Freedmen's Bureau, and Black churches. HSIs are colleges and universities that have an enrollment of 25" or more of Hispanic students enrolled at the undergraduate level, on a full-time basis. TCUs offer various degrees, such as master's, bachelor's, associates, and certificate programs in a variety of fields. PBIs tend to be concentrated in the South, Midwest, and East and they enrolled nearly 300,000 undergraduate students in the fall of 2013.
