Asian Americans and Pacific Islanders (AAPIs) challenge our nation's dominant Black-White racial paradigm. With varied ethnic, socioeconomic, and historical backgrounds, AAPIs do not align neatly with this simplistic, bimodal model. The lack of research on AAPIs has further contributed to enduring mischaracterizations of this population, including the prevailing "model minority" stereotype. Given the limitations of our nation's ability to confront its racist history and acknowledge its impacts, the distinct experiences of diverse AAPIs call into question our ways of contending with current inequities.For this dissertation study, I conducted an institutional analysis at Western University (pseudonym) that is also a designated Asian American Native American Pacific Islander-Serving Institution (AANAPISI) to examine the educational experiences of its Asian American students; because of confidentiality concerns and sheer small number, Pacific Islander students were necessarily excluded from this study. By analyzing socioeconomic and academic achievement data for a cohort of first-time freshmen who entered the university between 2010-2013, I tracked differences between the 10 most prevalent Asian ethnic subgroups contained within this sample. I also performed an environmental scan to identify resources in the campus environment that targeted AAPI student success.Findings from this institutional analysis revealed Asian American students at the university are at a significant disadvantage. Because the university largely serves first generation, low-income minority students from the surrounding communities, the Asian American students contradict the myth of the "model minority". Yet, because they are subsumed in the Asian racial category, the aggregated data fail to identify disparities, their needs remain obscured, and misperceptions linger. Findings from the environmental scan uncovered a long history of past and present efforts led by caring individuals committed to addressing inequities impacting Asian American students. However, as they are largely dependent on volunteer leadership, most of these piecemeal efforts have been temporary and unsustainable.Taken together, the results of this study demonstrate the urgent need for a comprehensive and sustained institutional strategy to address the educational needs of Western University's Asian American students. As an AANAPISI and the leading university in its region, Western University has an obligation to serve all of its students, particularly underserved Asian Americans who have long been marginalized due to persistent institutionalized discrimination.
