Taggart, Amanda, and Gloria Crisp. "The Role of Discriminatory Experiences on Hispanic Students' College Choice Decisions." Hispanic Journal Of Behavioral Sciences 33, no. 1 (n.d.): 22-38. Social Sciences Citation Index, EBSCOhost (accessed January 21, 2018).

Taggart and Crisp are the authors of the article “The Role of Discriminstory Experiences on Hispanic Students…”, and have highlighted how Hispanic students may get effected on where or even if they will go to a certain college based off of preliminary experiences. “Although numerous variables have been identified as influencing the college enrollment decisions of Hispanic students, a notable gap in the literature is a lack of understanding regarding how discriminatory experiences during high school may influence students’ college aspirations and eventual college choice decisions.” Both authors are known for publishing works pertaining to education, and they seem keen to figure out why this anomaly is occurring with Hispanic students. They mention in their article that “no study to date has attempted to quantitatively measure the role of discriminatory experiences during high school on the enrollment decisions of Hispanic students within the context of a theoretical model that controls for variables that previously have been found to be associated with college access and success.” This source relates to my research question because of the similarities in asking of the importance of an Hispanic organization in a PWI (Predominately White Institute) and how it can be changed by educating others about it.
