Matt G on 08 Nov 10Comeaux, Eddie, and C. Keith Harrison. "Faculty and male student athletes: racial differences in the environmental predictors of academic achievement." Race, Ethnicity & Education 10.2 (2007): 199-214. Academic Search Complete. EBSCO. Web. 3 Nov. 2010. This article is talking about how outside environmental variables affect the academic achievements of college athletes. It also talks about the varying types of athlete to faculty interaction. A certain study shows that black and white athletes do not benefit equally from this interaction. The author is inferring that black and white athletes are treated much differently, in some situations at least. Faculty and students are now discussing how to fix this problem in order to improve communication and the experience of college athletics.
