This study, published in the Journal of Race Ethnicity and Education, examines the relationship between students’ perceptions of teacher treatment, school suspensions, and school climate in three high schools in Central New York. The results of the study showed racial and ethnic differences in perceptions of teacher treatment, suspension practices, and school climate. Students’ perceptions of unequal treatment based on racial group membership influence their experiences in school.
