Hispanic Presidents and Chancellors of Institutions of Higher Education in the United States in 2001 and 2006
(Alfredo G. de los Santos Jr. & Irene I. Vega)
This manuscript examines the number of Hispanic individuals who serve as president or chancellor and the type of institution they serve. In 2001 only 13 states had institutions in which the president or chancellor was Latina/o. By 2006, that number had increased to 22. Both in 2001 and 2006, 61% of all Latina/o CEOs served in associate’s degree institutions. Of the 180 institutions in the continental United States that were members of HACU in 2007, only 56 or 31% had Latina/o CEOs.
