Abstract
This paper investigated diversity disparity in high education relating to faculty and the student body. The research identified the perceived leadership behaviors, policies, and procedures determined by minority faculty and students contributing to minority populations disparities within the University. The conclusions suggested higher education leaders should embrace and encourage differences and implement strategies that will adequately support inclusive policies within the higher education system to increase the organizational value of diversity through equitable populations.

Summary
1.1 Statement of the ProblemDiversity and inclusion in educational institutions are ongoing challenges throughout the United States (Phillips, 2016), which affects communities, the private and public sectors, and general interactions and communication amongst individuals (Cottrill, Lopez, & Hoffman, 2014). Higher education policies and articulation agreements are often contributing factors to the lack of diversity within universities (Crownson, Mitchell & Shipps, 2011). The researchers investigated a Research I University’s’ leadership behaviors, policies, and procedures to examine if those behaviors and procedures contribute to what it means to create an inclusive diverse environment for students and faculty of color. Conducting this study contributed to the exploration for the need to change policy and procedures that will result in increased diversity for the student and the faculty population in higher education (Creswell, 2009). The purpose of this research study was to investigate the perceived leadership behaviors, policies, and procedures identified by minority faculty and students regarding diversity in a higher education institution, and how they contributed to the lack of diversity within the student and faculty population
