Authors and summary: This was written by Davis et al. in 2004 for the Journal of Higher Education.
Thoughts: This article was interesting to me. I really liked reading the quotes from the interviews and hearing the stories, which was the main point. However, I disagree with the discussion that paints the results as particular to black students. These results are issues I've dealt with a multitude of time and believe are not unique to me. It also uses inductive reasoning from the results of an 11 student interview at one school that were selectively chosen. This is faulty reasoning. The student interviewees themselves stated several times that they did not like having to represent the "entire black population". The interviewers seemed to turn around and use the results of these interviews to do just that.
