‘Service First’ in the Mission of Ensuring Accountability in Academic Access and Success for Learners of Color in today’s Economy
Abstract
This article explored the concept of, ‘Service First in the Mission of Ensuring Accountability in Academic Access and Success for Learners of Color in today’s Economy’. The landmark Supreme Court case of Brown v. Board of Education did not provide the racial justice and equality many believed would ensue. Educators, community leaders, and students must continue take responsibility in ensuring greater accountability and civic engagement in higher education. Our leaders must continue to play a strong role towards ongoing efforts to prepare and to ensure a more sustainable future for all adult leaders, especially Learners of Color in the United States of America.
