Cultural diversity involves people from various backgrounds, nationality, ethnicity gender and religion coming together. The world and the personal needs are changing with diversity playing a key part in the devolving communities, localities, and institutions. In the recent past, diversity in America has flourished and has also become a bacterium especially in the learning institutions. Some factors have limited the heterogeneity and thus causing stereotypes, mistrust, and discrimination of the blacks in institutions of higher learning. It is worth noting that bullying has taken shape in institutions, with individuals from the black race being the victims of the showdown. The whites are better placed in the academic map, with their projects and proposals being highly considered unlike the case for the people of color who pass through the same system and tutors, yet their proposals remaining unutilized. The equal treatment as used at the national level may be implemented, though the fruits of the same remain a mystery.
Background and justification
Ladson-Billings " Tate (2016) explore the intellectual products of the New Race Group of the Legal Studies through the critical race theory commonly referred to as the CRT movement. Initially, the theoretical movement sought to expand to include the diverse scholars within the field of humanities, social science and education and the researchers presented in the American Educational Research Association (EARA). The study, however, highlights the disparity between the diverse ethnicities within the United States, where the CRT educational scholarship favored the whites unlike the people of a color. The discussion highlights on some of the findings from the research and the remedies for understanding the dynamics of the challenge.

The study explored the ways in which the American higher education deals with diversity, the significance of the system to the learners and how the learners respond to it. The learners share their experiences and make suggestions of what needs to be corrected to make the system suit all people.
The higher education is meant to enhance the lives of learners to become better citizens in future. The system has however brought more disparities than good for the diverse groups.
Quaye, S. J., " Harper, S. R. (Eds.). (2014). Student engagement in higher education: Theoretical perspectives and practical approaches for diverse populations.
Stephen John Quaye and Shaun Harper synthesize the best theories and research on the college diversity by the learners and seek to find out what enhances their success through persistence, graduation rates and personal development of the outcomes. The authors look into warrants of examining and understanding the experiences of various studies which are underrepresented in the studies
The study helped to derive the immutable elements by learners that vary in institutions and calls for taking the total advantage of the educational resources in institutions. The researchers use the perspective of the American higher education system
Research questions and hypothesis
The study will seek to identify the challenges in higher education as a result of the diversity of the learners. It will identify the disparities that exist between the white learners and the learners of a color. Various studies have been conducted with an aim of establishing the association between the success of learners in higher education and the implementation process of the proposals and projects presented for their researchers. The research questions will explore what causes these challenges as well as the mitigation factors in the search for remedies.
Hypothesis: Diversity in learning has brought discrimination to learners of a color in America, unlike the whites
Research questions
What is the percentage of learners who are admitted to the higher education institutions? From this numbers, what is the percentage of blacks who join these institutions?
How have many projects by the blacks been implemented in comparison to the projects of the whites?
What are the mitigation factors which cause disparity in attaining the success in higher education between the blacks and the whites?
How have the issues of diversity in higher education be addressed to ensure equality for all?
Methodology
The study will have 100 participants who will be learners in higher education. The population will have 40 % whites, which translates to 40 learners and 60 % blacks, who make up 60 learners, in the university environment. The learners will undergo the normal school routine for six weeks, and the tutors will expose them to a test. The test will help to collect the information on the performance of the individual learners in the process.
The study will use questionnaires issued to the learners and the tutor to collect the information. Moreover, the researchers will use observation method to draw note the character and interaction of the learners, as well as the mode of study.
Conclusion
The expected outcome will show that the level of success for the white learners will be higher than the success level of the blacks. The outcome will be as a result of the combination of several factors. The hypothesis is expected to support the study and test positive. The study would best be used to the Department of education, the sports and culture department concerned with diversity and cultural integration. The findings would also interest the learners themselves to help in correcting such an occurrence. Some of the limitations of the study include time duration for gathering the findings, location for carrying out the research as well as the financial constraint since the study is expensive to conduct.
