Abstract

White privilege is a rarely acknowledged or addressed issue in higher education that negatively affects the success of students of color. This literature review surveys the relationship between white privilege and higher education, defines white privilege, identifies its impact on higher education, recognizes ways white educators perpetuate it, and theorizes how educators may resist it.
