Racial diversity in University of Oklahoma student organizations: the case for increasing informal interactional diversity within siloed institutions
Abstract
Literature suggests racial diversity is a common good for in groups and out groups and further suggests a particular type of diversity, informal interactional diversity, has the greatest benefits. This research explores the demographics of student organizations at the University of Oklahoma and determines if student organizations engage in meaningful informal interactional diversity. Research suggests student organizations do not engage in informal interactional diversity. Data suggests any diversity encounters or partnerships between student organizations are artificial and student organizations are largely siloed.
