From The Editor

"FROM THE EDITOR Curricular, pedagogical, and organizational issues brought about by increasing social and cultural diversity theraten to fragment college communities and polarize faculty, students, and administrators. This volume of New Directionf ofr Teaching and Learning describes the challenges inherent in developing the multicultural campus and presents insights and case studies illustrative of the progress being made by individuals and institutions. It includes innovative perspectives on teaching and administrative practive, thoughtful accounts of curricular and pedagogical changes, and thorough discussions of strategies already undertaken by faculty at public universities and at community and private colleges. Faculty, administrators, and policy makers will find evidence here that change is incremental, aprocess of trial and error to which, given our complex, conservative, decentralized collegiate systems, there may be few alternatives."
