Preferred term

campus Balkanization and segregation  

Definition

  • The sustained demographic shift within the United States toward greater racial diversity has changed not only the composition of student bodies but also the racial dynamics on college campuses. On many campuses where there has been an increase in diversity, undergraduate students still frequently find themselves socializing more often with same-race peers, despite the increased potential to develop more cross-racial friendships.
