Abstract	DAVIS, JEMILIA SHENIKA. Views from the Top: Vice Presidents of Student Affairs’ Perspectives on Prioritizing Students of Color. (Under the direction of Audrey J. Jaeger). Racial tension across today’s college campuses is a product of institutional cultures that perpetuate the historical legacy of excluding People of Color (Harper, Patton, & Wooden, 2009; Museus, Ravello, & Vega, 2012; Rhoads, 2016; Wechsler, 2007). The purpose of this critical qualitative case study was to examine how VPSAs prioritize promoting success for Students of Color (SoCs) and how VPSAs perceive their power to do so. This study was conducted with 10 Vice Presidents of Student Affairs (VPSAs) at 4-year public, historically White institutions in the southeastern region of the United States. The themes represent data collected from semistructured interviews, questionnaires, reflections, mission statements, strategic plans, campus media outlets, enrollment and retention data, and additional documents that provided context for the study. Culturally relevant pedagogy (Ladson-Billings, 1995, 1995b), critical race theory in education (DeCuir & Dixson, 2004; Delgado & Stefancic, 2017; Ladson-Billings & Tate, 1995; Patton, 2016), and literature on organization theory (Bess & Dee, 2012; Bolman & Deal, 2017) provided the theoretical framework for this study. The participants’ experiences and perspectives reveal VPSAs’ nuanced efforts in prioritizing SoCs in an institutional climate that continues to center Whiteness. © Copyright 2019 by Jemilia S.
