Question: How might current models of academic organization and governance better adapt to these voices?

Today, universities around the nation have Women's Studies and African-American studies programs and departments, and Latino and Gay Studies departments in some institutions of learning as well. Undergraduate and graduate organizations advocate for these interest groups. Yet one critical shortfall remains that has a seismic, often silent impact upon the representational nature of the university -- financial aid. Were more scholarships available, the diversity of most colleges would increase exponentially. Yet except for a few select, well-endowed institutions such as Harvard that can offer children from families with incomes of less than $40,000 full scholarships, schools often can extend little financial support than access to the increasingly dry well of credit (Harvard announces new initiative aimed at economic barriers to college, 2004, Harvard Gazette).
Students from poorer backgrounds may fear burdening themselves with debt when they are so young, in an uncertain job market, and with good reason.

In the future, although it may be painful, universities may consider cutting back on some services, like pricey dorms, and instead offer more of their money back to their greatest resource -- their students.
