Latinx/a/o college presidents represent less than four percent of all college and university presidencies in the United States (Gagliardi et al., 2017). Although the percentage of Latinx/a/o students enrolling in postsecondary education has nearly doubled in the past decade (Snyder et al., 2018), the percentage of Latinx/a/o college presidents has decreased, with only 3.9% of the total presidencies in 2016 compared to 4.5% in 2006 (Gagliardi et al., 2017).
