This dissertation was informed by the theoretical frameworks of Black feminism and critical race theory. The problem investigated throughout the research was to determine what academic and social trends of institutional discrimination influence the retention rate of Black students as they journeyed through the social and
academic hierarchies of a postsecondary educational institution (Collins, 1998; Collins, 1998; Tate, 2006). The qualitative inquiry of case study was used to investigate the phenomena (Yin, 1994, 2003). The study was done within a 4 year public Hispanic Serving Institution in the southwest region. The participants were
grouped into three collective cases: pushouts, college graduates, and currently enrolled students.
