- Title

- Abstract
Hispanic-American males encounter various forms of oppression in higher education, which correlate with their dropout and graduation rates. Institutions of higher education are in fact perceived as hostile environments and culturally irrelevant to such students. In an attempt to reverse trends by addressing issues of oppression, institutions of higher education have created programs and policies that enable the middleclass and/or academically prepared Hispanic-American males. In an effort to reverse dropout rates programs and policies must accommodate Hispanic-American males who are less academically prepared but who have the potential for success in higher education.
