Interplay of Policy & Servingness
The servingness framework acknowledges the external environment, including the policy context, that may help or hinder equity-minded approaches to serving Latine/x students in HSIs. HSI leaders must understand the sociohistorical and political landscape, including the role of state-level policies in relation to the HSI designation and the ways federal Title V and III funding shapes priorities around servingness. They must also understand the unique policy contexts and racial dynamics that influence the experiences of HSIs, particularly in terms of how diversity and equity policies as well as anti-DEI policies influence institutional discourse and practices.

Critical Perspectives on HSIs
Even the servingness framework, which was created to advocate for equity and justice for Latine/x students, runs the risk of reinforcing dominant ways of operating as colleges and universities if we do not apply critical perspectives to HSI research and practice. Critical perspectives range from critical race ideologies and Black feminist epistemologies to decolonial theories. HSI practitioners and scholars must learn and understand how critical perspectives can be accessed to advance an understanding of the intersectional identities of students and the ways these identities are shaped by larger systems of oppression.

How can I signal that I'm actually doing this from a race conscious way? Even just being transparent about your pedagogy can go a long way. 'cause it signals to students like, this person understands or sees what I might be managing from a racialized perspective in mathematics - Luis Antonio Leyva

STEM Servingness
How do you infuse servingness into STEM at HSIs? This is one question all HSIs must grapple with because every student takes at least one STEM-based course, but many Latine/x students are also interested in STEM degrees and STEM careers. Culturally relevant and anti-racist approaches are essential in STEM education, especially at HSIs, as they validate students' identities and backgrounds. Several of our guests have stressed that mentoring and supporting Latine/x students in STEM at HSIs requires listening to their needs and aspirations, not just guiding them towards pre-determined paths. Creating access and flexibility in STEM courses, while also centering the lived realities of students of color at HSIs, is a necessary part of servingness.
