Abstract: The percentage of Latinos in top university administration lags far behind that in the nation overall. How can we increase their numbers? One answer is leadership institutes. This article examines these institutes in general and those addressing minorities in particular, with an eye to presenting models that may aid future Latino leadership institutes. It explains the need for these programs and describes four long-established institutes and four more addressing minorities. (Contains 9 notes.)
