Abstract	This study focuses on how higher education institutions have responded to recent student demonstrations protesting alleged racism on college campuses across the United States. The study is a document analysis of contemporary diversity initiatives at college multicultural centers, reviews contemporary diversity training initiatives, and how these centers inform institutions as they emerge and evolve to better serve diverse student populations in the 21st century. This study provides a conceptual framework to integrate how effective diversity initiatives can be implemented into higher education policy and curriculum. The research also provides a framework based on higher education institutions' needs. To achieve this overall objective, the following research questions framed this qualitative methods study: 1. What values have each institution's multicultural center included in their archival historic documents? 2. What do the archival documents from each institution's multicultural center reveal about diversity, equity, and inclusion initiatives on their respective campus? This is a qualitative study of multicultural centers at public universities across the Midwest through the collection and analysis of archival documents. The researcher will focus on how these higher education multicultural centers value diversity, demonstrate diversity awareness, and engage in contemporary diversity, equity, and inclusion initiatives. This study will explore the emerging themes regarding diversity, equity, and inclusion as demonstrated through the publicly available archival documents from four Midwestern universities.
