The 20th century may be divided in two periods, modern and postmodern.
The modern period before 1914 was described as a cultural movement. It
included progressive art, architecture, music, literature and design. The emerging
modern world was embraced by academic and historical traditions.The postmodern period was described by new economic, social and
political aspects that defined the modern period such as individualism, rationality,
mistrust of government and religion and a disbelief of any absolute truths. One of
the functions of higher education institutions is to prepare future leaders.
“Educational leadership emphasizes rationality and efficiency in its approach to
preparation and in its models and standards” (English, 2003, p. 145).

Statement of the Problem
The problem identified in this research study focused on a decline in
students graduating or completing their 4-year academic program at a
Minority Serving Institution in Texas. For a variety of reasons,
graduation rates declined in the past decade. College student’s currentperceptions and attitudes of campus climate at this Minority Serving
Institution had an effect on student academic achievement, student’s
persistence to continue their four-year degree, students believing they are
socially connected to the university, and graduation and retention rates.

On Postmodernism
7
Postmodernism's “primary significance is its power to account for and
reflect vast changes in our society, cultures, policy, and economy” (Boland,
1995). Postmodernism is about
the breaking down of barriers, calling into question and disrepute the binaries
on which culture and social stratification have been based that privilege aclass, gender, sexual identity, and race-based social/cultural differentiated
structure. One of its principal weapons is textual de-construction (English,
2008, pp. 169-170).
A “conceptual landscape of educational leadership” exists and includes
epochs of foundational writings (English, 2003). An epoch is a distinctive periodof time marked by an event or written text that serves a an anchor to advance
major concepts along a continual line of development (English, 2003). For
example, the line of development for this presentation is pre-modern,
modern, and postmodern.

The design of this study was a qualitative-quantitative model also known as
exploratory mixed-methods. The qualitative phase of the study was a narrative
analysis of student perceptions and attitudes on campus climate. The
quantitative portion of the study was a survey and used both descriptive
and correlation statistics.

Qualitative Research Questions
11
The qualitative questionnaire relative to Campus or School Climate
Climate can be described as the atmosphere or ambience of an organization asperceived by its members. An organization's climate is reflected in itsstructures, policies, and practices; the demographics of its membership; theattitudes and values of its members and leaders; and the quality of personal
interactions (Campus Climate Network Group, 2002 p. 1).
1. How do you describe your school climate?
2. What are your experiences at this Minority Serving Institution (MSI)that would demonstrate a need exists to improve campus climate?
3. Describe the customer service at your school.
4. Does this Minority Serving Institution (MSI) support youreducational goals? If yes, then how? If no, then why not?

Quantitative Variables
15
Campus Climate questions addressed safety, quality of instruction,
educational environment being positive and supportive, buildings and grounds
being maintained, computing facilities being available, and satisfaction with
ethnic and cultural events.
Question #1 was answered using questions on student academic achievement
which addressed skills student gained, examples given in class on how theories
apply to real life, advising, having at least one faculty member to talk to, up-to-
date information on subject matter, student’s having an active voice,
information on scholarships, staff and faculty being sensitive to student
concerns, and if starting over, if the student would choose this same university.

Quantitative Findings
18
RQ1. Is there a relationship between campus climate and student academicachievement?
H01: There is no statistically significant relationship between campus climateand student academic achievement.
Respondent’s agreement and importance items on campus climate andstudent academic achievement revealed a strong correlation andstatistically significant relationship. The null hypothesis was rejected. A calculation of a One-Way ANOVA was used to test the Null Hypotheses.Results revealed a statistically significant relationship between campus
climate and student academic achievement: F (3, 66) = 6.18, p = .001.The p value is less than or equal to the alpha level .05. The nullhypothesis, H01, was rejected. Therefore, there was a statistically significant relationship between campus climate and student academicachievement.

Question #3. Describe the customer service at your campus. Themes that
emerged were:
1) needing and receiving help on who can fix the students’ problem and
2) putting the customer first, for example, the student needs should be a priority.
Comments included why there is not a sense of fairness in customer service.
Students who do not know anyone in the department they are seeking help fromare not given the same expedient service as those who do know someone.
Question #4. Does this Minority Serving Institution (MSI) support your
educational goals? Please explain your answer. A theme that emerged was the
professor’s response to students who worked off campus was excellent, such as
having night and Saturday classes.

Concluding Remarks
33
In conclusion, campus leaders at all levels need to be held accountable for encouraging a more positive climate. The purpose of this study was to investigate
the applicability of a postmodern process for improving campus climate through
strategic thinking at a Minority Serving Institution (MSI) in Texas.
All leaders must set the tone by not ignoring any disrespectful behavior
that goes on in their units. In progressing, the campus can expect a variety of
listening sessions, forums and additional professional development opportunities.
Even if all faculty and staff cannot go to diversity workshops, leaders can be
encouraged in departments, schools and colleges, administrative and service
units, to participate.
Postmodernists would say there are multiple forms of truths from multiple
sources. Feyerabend said it best in his 1993 study, “Without chaos, no
knowledge. Without a frequent dismissal of reason, no progress” (p. 158).

Concluding Remarks…continued
34
The findings in this study suggested that when campus climate was positive, students wanted to achieve academically. They wantedand needed mentoring and wanted an environment of continuousimprovement. They valued a positive and supportive environment foracademic achievement.

http://slidepdf.com/reader/full/barbara-thompson-dissertation-defense-ppt-use-this-copy 35/40
Concluding Remarks…continued
35
In order for this Minority Serving Institution (MSI) to become a world-class
university, it is essential that students, faculty, and staff have a positive,
supportive environment in which to work, learn, and live (Minority Serving
Institution (MSI) with Texas University Systems, 2007). There is no one cure for all (English, 2003).
The day will never come when there is a 100% success rate, because there
will never come a day when there is no conflict in the university. It will come
down to whether administrators and leaders at this Minority Service Institution
want to improve how people feel, work, learn, and live in this campus
community.

Recommendations for Further Study
36
Recommendations for further study include the following:
1) A study could be conducted to gather views on creating an office of ombudsman (complaints) for faculty and staff.
2) A study could be conducted to examine why students and faculty leave the university.
3) A study could be conducted for faculty which would generatefeedback from the faculty’s point of view to help improve campus life.
4) A study could be conducted on how a MSI can improve culturalproficiency and campus climate for all, on a continuous basis.

Recommendations…continued
37
5) A study could be conducted by monitoring a campus through listeningsessions to know which initiatives are working and which are not working.
6) A study could be conducted that is inclusive of all students at the
university and compare the results with another HBCU.7) A study could be conducted in developing a social network page, such
as FACEBOOK or Twitter, by level (Undergraduate - UG, Graduate -GR, Doctorate -DR, Post Bach - PB) to keep students socially connected to the university.
