engineering students at the junior level one must realize that they arefocused completely on the task at hand, placing themselves in a career that makes themchemical, mechanical, electrical, or one of the various other forms of being an engineer. Theyhave usually spent the first two years of college rushing through all the humanities, socialstudies, and composition classes that they can to remove those from their radar. Now they havearrived at the time when many colleges accept them into the brother/sister hood of theprofession. They come with a wide perspective on engineering, a number of mathematicscourses, and in many cases nothing more.

In other words, this respondent’s perception was that efforts to continue topromote diversity in a way that comports with the new legal landscape would inadvertently leadto policies that harmed some students.Another participant expressed concern that HEFS might “overreact” and limit efforts beyondwhat is legally required and end up “completely water[ing] down policies and initiatives that aretargeted for [underrepresented] students.” Some concerns about practices were specific to distinctfunctions and roles

While the fundingmechanism has provided important support for academic change in these settings, the lack oftwo-year colleges from the funding opportunities represented a significant gap. Two-year colleges provide a key pathway to college access for students. Students choosea two-year program for several reasons, such as reducing costs for the first two years of college,proximity to family and community, and to balance academic with other responsibilities, such asfamily responsibilities and employment. According to the National Center for EducationStatistics, nearly 50 percent of students in the United States begin their college careers at two-year colleges [7]. Thus, including two
