Authored with Dr. Joseph Berger and Mr. Shederick McClendon for the Association of American Colleges and Universities and funded by the Ford Foundation, Toward a Model of Inclusive Excellence and Change in Post-Secondary Institutions was foundational to launching the Inclusive Excellence Movement in American Higher Education and has influenced thousands of institutions globally.

It offers a framework for comprehensive organizational change to help campuses achieve inclusive excellence. Campuses must consider multiple dimensions of organizational culture in mapping out a change strategy and monitor the results that come from introducing new systems and new practices. Included is a model that helps campus leaders focus simultaneously on the “big picture”—an academy that systematically leverages diversity for student learning and institutional excellence—and the myriad individual pieces that contribute to that picture.
