Our aim is to look at how retention of Hmong students is negatively affected by racism on campus. Specifically, we will be looking at how Hmong students are more likely to consider leaving the university due to
racism and how Hmong students who have experienced race-based incidents are less likely to report the incident due to the expectation that
no action will be taken. Our research brings up the importance of diversity
and inclusivity. Examining students of colors’ experience on campus not
only acknowledges but enables a more critical outlook in ways the University can correct and change. Using the Campus Climate Survey from
the University of Wisconsin - Eau Claire (UWEC), we conducted a research
using both quantitative and qualitative data. In order to analyze properly, we used SPSS to crosstab questions and comments. Specifically, we used
questions that correlate with retention and bias incidents to further our research. By examining the most recent campus climate survey, we hope it
will raise awareness to improve matters with the campus climate. Ultimately, we want to bring a better perspective and knowledge as to why
Hmong student’s retention is affected by factors such as the campus climate.
